Linkr: Digital Portfolios for Enhanced Learning Opportunities
Whether referred to as an “e-portfolio”, “digital portfolio” or “academic portfolio”, Linkr provides a powerful and interactive way for learners and educators to leverage the power of portfolios.
Portfolios can transform learning and learning outcomes.
Owning a portfolio changes the relationship a student has with their schoolwork, transforming it into a creative endeavour and something to take pride in. A portfolio gives an authentic and practical way to document development. It can also be used in future academic and professional learning experiences. A portfolio makes learning meaningful in a tangible way in each class or program where it’s leveraged.
Beyond an individual class, a portfolio enables the author to curate their work. Portfolios allow them to connect dots between learning experiences, and can be expanded indefinitely, even after a course or program is complete.
If students are asked to share their work within a class, engagement increases as these pieces reach a peer audience and greater interaction is invited.
Each item within a portfolio evidences ideas and learning, so teachers can gauge learning outcomes and progress.
With these shifts in how learning is communicated between student and educator, autonomy, responsibility, motivation, and engagement are boosted.
Linkr is the best platform for Digital Portfolios
Linkr’s digital portfolios are easy to use, allowing students to showcase a diverse range of skills, achievements, and personal interests through multiple formats and mediums, such as writing, images, videos, and audio.
Linkr’s digital portfolios are integrated
Linkr’s portfolios become part of each user’s profile on Linkr. Each portfolio item has visibility settings controlled by the owner and can be shared with members of their class, group or homebase on Linkr. A user with the privilege to access it can comment on the item and/or explore opportunities to collaborate by accessing the rest of the user’s accessible profile and reaching out. By being integrated within Linkr, portfolios and their individual items shared on Linkr are dynamic, flexible and alive.
