Exporting Items

Goal

After completing this how-to article, you will know how to export items onto your device using the ePortfolio tool. Exporting items will allow you to share them with those who do not have access to IWU's Brightspace site, such as a potential employer.

Please note there are some known issues with exporting "Presentation" items from the ePortfolio tool. Links within the presentation will not work, and the chosen "theme" will not be displayed. If you wish only to export the files associated with the presentation, follow Step 1a. in the Navigation section of this article.

1. From the My Items tab, select the "actions for ..." button next to the title of the desired item and choose the Export option.
   1. If you are exporting a presentation, choose the radio button for the Export presentation to an ePortfolio package option.

3. Select the "open ..." link to download a .zip folder onto your device. Otherwise, the folder will not be downloaded.
4. Only after you have started the download of the .zip folder, as explained in Step 3 above, choose the Close button.
