Adding Files

Goal

After reviewing this how-to article, you will know how to add files ("artifacts") in the ePortfolio tool. There is more than one way to add a file within the ePortfolio tool. This article will review the most straightforward and quickest route and provide the only way to add more than one file at a time.

Navigation

1. From the main ePortfolio page, you can add information in the What are you learning? field to create an associated reflection; adding information in this field is not required. A reflection is a way to provide careful or long consideration or thought on a subject matter.
2. You will select Add Files or Add Link, depending on what you need to upload. While Step 3 will cover how to add files, the steps will be the same for adding a link except that you will paste the needed URL in the designated Enter a URL... field. 
3. Use the "files field" to upload the needed file(s).
   1. To remove an individual file, select the "remove" button by the file.
   2. To close out of the "files field," select the Close button.
4. To make the files visible to select users in Brightspace, select the Share... button.
5. A list of up to 100 of your Sharing Groups and other users in Brightspace will be displayed. It is best if you search in the "share" field to narrow down the number of results. Select the Sharing Group or individual user to whom you wish to make the files visible. You must repeat this step for every Sharing Group or user you need to share with.
   1. To remove one of the selections, choose the "remove" button.
6. After all the files you wish to share have been uploaded, choose the Add to ePortfolio button.
