Profile Page

Your ePortfolios profile is accessible to you via Canvas or directly by going to the ePortfolios website. Below is a brief description of its features:

Allows you to save your profile as a single or multi-page PDF.

In addition to your profile, you can access your portfolio(s), drafts, connections, and suggested connections.

This area of your page showcases quick facts about you, including your resume, introduction, work experience, etc. Be sure to Edit this area frequently to ensure your profile is as robust and up-to-date as possible.

Notice this area in both images - your profile is separated by your courses and your educational experience. Because you can use ePortfolios outside of ERAU content, this may be a great way for you to showcase work you did at another university or in non-ERAU programs.

A list of potential connections will always be displayed - these may be fellow students or faculty within the organization and are meant to help your network.

Here you can add additional education experiences outside of ERAU.

Create a New Project

You can either create a new project by Importing from Canvas or create a new project manually. Creating a project manually may be useful when adding non-ERAU affiliated projects or adding discussions, quizzes, group projects, etc. that do not import properly from Canvas.

In addition to selecting +New Project in the ePortfolios navigation, you can use the ePortfolios profile page to add projects to associated courses and educational institutes without having to manually organize the projects later. Below are steps on how to add a project through ePortfolios.
