Folio by Sunesis vs Portflow

Folio by Sunesis is a web-based e-portfolio platform for UK training providers managing apprenticeship delivery and learner progress. It records what training was delivered, when and by whom across standards, qualifications and programmes. Learner data and progress appear in a central dashboard with real-time insights intended to highlight learners falling behind. For IQA and EQA work, users can tag, filter and submit evidence while managing RAG ratings, observations, audits and sampling. Functional-skills tools track maths and English outcomes, progression, results and support needs, and providers can buy or build courses and assessments. Listed additions include CPD tracking, a learning-resources library, learner support plans, additional-learning-support records, adapted-delivery planning, learner diaries and off-the-job hour tracking with reports and sign-off. Employers can review key information, sign documents digitally and communicate with tutors and assessors. Folio links to Sunesis onboarding records. Sunesis says it uses encrypted UK-based servers, restricted access controls, UK GDPR compliance, secure migration and setup guidance, plus initial training and live walkthroughs. Pricing is on request.

Portflow is a student-owned learning and assessment portfolio that extends an institution’s learning management system or virtual learning environment. Students can set personal or programme goals, collect evidence from different learning contexts, organize portfolios into collections and sections, and track progress. They can request feedback from LMS users and external guests, with discussions supported by threaded comments, attachments, and recordings. For assessment, students can lock selected portfolio content into a snapshot and submit it through an LMS assignment for review in its Grader. They can also share showcase portfolios or export their contents as zipped files. Portflow integrates with Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, and Moodle. Its Android and iOS learner app supports photo, text, audio, and video evidence, offline capture, guest mode, and QR-code feedback; web access is also listed. Drieam offers a demo and contact options, but does not publish a price. The maker states that Portflow is GDPR compliant, LTI Advantage certified, and conforms to WCAG 2.2 level AA.
