About sharing Brightspace ePortfolio items

You can share your Brightspace ePortfolio items internally and externally.

Use permissions to share Brightspace ePortfolio items internally with other users. You can set up separate permissions options for each artifact, collection, reflection, presentation, and learning objective in your Brightspace ePortfolio so you can pick and choose what content you share with others. You can send invitations to internal users when you share an item with them. Sending an invitation gives you the opportunity to leave them a message about why you are sharing the item and what you’d like them to do with it. If you send an invite to a sharing group that includes all users at your organization or all users in a particular course or department, all of the users in the group receive the invite.

You can also share Brightspace ePortfolio presentations externally with friends, parents, or potential employers in the following two ways:

  • You can make the presentation publicly available to anyone through a URL. When you share a presentation this way people can only view the presentation. They cannot add comments, add assessments, or make edits to the presentation.
  • You can send a personal invite to view your presentation via an email and the recipient can follow the attached link to view the presentation. The recipient must set up a username and password, and then they can see and add comments or assessments based on the permissions you gave them. External users cannot edit presentations.
