Brightspace Portfolio (online, part of D2L)

Brightspace Portfolio provides an online artifact space for kindergarten through Grade 12 classrooms and individual learners. It is intended that a learner can maintain their portfolio evidence from previous years as they progress through their education journey.

Brightspace Portfolio consists of two pieces of software:

  • To collect evidence in the classroom, use the Portfolio app for iOS or Android on a shared device such as a classroom tablet. The Portfolio app is available for download from Apple App Store or Google Play App Store.
  • To manage the evidence your learners collect, use the Portfolio tool within Brightspace Learning Environment, which is available on a browser from your laptop, tablet or mobile device
