D2L ePortfolio
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
What it is
D2L ePortfolio stores, organizes, and shares evidence of learning, including documents, graphics, audio, video, presentations, and coursework. Learners choose what to include and how to arrange it, then set permissions for others to view, edit, comment on, or assess shared items. Presentations gather portfolio items into multipage web projects that showcase learning and accomplishments. Users can enable comments and rubric assessments on artifacts, collections, reflections, presentations, and learning objectives, subject to permissions. Items submitted to Brightspace assignments are assessed as copies, so later portfolio changes do not alter the submitted version. A Google Drive file selector is available when an administrator enables it and the institution has a Google Workspace license. The mobile app requires authentication and a wireless connection, and works with institutional or myDesire2Learn ePortfolio services. D2L says Brightspace Portfolio is intended to replace legacy Brightspace ePortfolio and advises against using both in the same course at once. Pricing is customized according to factors such as user count, features, implementation timeline, support, and integrations.
