Pushing ePortfolio items to others

As a part of the Import/Export tool, administrators and instructors can push artifacts, presentations, reflections and collections into other users' portfolios for their own use.

Push ePortfolio Content to Users' Portfolios enables organizations to provide examples and template ePortfolio items for students. Organizations, administrators or instructors can customize content in their own ePortfolios and then push out the content to courses or sharing groups. This enables you to provide better support, scaffolds, and generic getting started tasks for students.

Note  The system maintains the same item properties during a push process as it does during an export process. See Changes to item properties during an export for more information.

Push items to other users' portfolios

1. From the main Import/Export page, select Push ePortfolio Content to Users' Portfolios.
2. Select the auto-include options you want.
3. Click Add Items.
4. Select the items you want to push and click Add. To remove unwanted items from the push list, click the Remove icon for those items.
5. Click Next.
6. Select sharing groups or courses to push the content to. Click the Remove icon beside those groups or courses to remove them from the Selected Users list.
7. Click Push.

You can review the status of your push processes from the Import/Export area in the Pushes to Others Activity list.

Note  Push processes may take some time to appear in users' portfolios depending on the size of items, amount of users receiving those items, and the amount of processes in the queue.
