Edit View
In this view, the user will be able to edit and add content to their ePortfolio. This content will be automatically saved in the system. To make the content available and viewable to other viewers, the user must publish all edits. |
|
Published View
This is the view other visitors to an ePortfolio (normally known as viewers) see. Viewers will only be able to view content that the administrator has published. A viewer is not able to view unpublished or hidden pages. |
|
Sections (Slides) |
| Sections (also known as Slides) are used to organize content within a page of an ePortfolio. Each page can have multiple sections to organize content and multiple modules with content can go inside a section. In the system, there are different types of sections: |
Header Section (Slides)
The header section is the top level section where the navigation is located. This section can be edited, but not deleted. |
|
Instruction Sections (Slides)
Instruction sections (or Slides) are normally placed at the top of the page to provide instructions, guidance, and resources to help the user build that particular page. They are only visible to users with an editor, publisher, and administrator level access only and are visible in edit mode only. As with other content sections, these instructions sections (or Slides) can include different types of content. |
|
Content Sections (Slides)
These are the most commonly used modules and are added to the workspace area in an ePortfolio page. There are different types of modules to include different types of content such as: rich text, table, images, and documents. There are also modules that can embed content from various sites. These modules can be positioned and resized within the workspace. |
|
Modules |
| Modules are the building blocks of an ePortfolio page. They provide spaces to add images, video, text and links to websites or files within any section or page of an ePortfolio. A user can add and organize multiple modules within a section or page, which provides the user with full control and flexibility over how content is organized and displayed. In the system, there are different types of modules: |
|
Top Navigation Modules
This is the module that contains the navigation for an ePortfolio and is located in the header section. This module appears on every page and cannot be deleted. The edit mode of this module allows the user to create new sections or subpages or edit existing ones. The user can also apply specific functions to these pages such as making a page private or a heading. |
|
Content Modules
These are the most commonly used modules and are added to the workspace area in an ePortfolio page. There are different types of modules to include different types of content such as: rich text, table, images, and documents. There are also modules that can embed content from various sites. These modules can be positioned and resized within the workspace. |
|
Workspace |
| The workspace is the workable area within a section where the user can add and organize content. In the system, there are different types of workspaces: |
|
Navigation Workspace
This is the area at the top where the top navigation module is located. To create a richer and more inviting ePortfolio, the user is encourage to add other content such as a banner or a text title. |
|
Content Workspace
This is the area where the user add sections and modules with content that can be published and viewable to others via the published view. This area has a set width that cannot be altered. However, the user can adjust the height to accommodate more content as added. |
|
Other Terms |
Library
The Library also stores the files that are uploaded to an ePortfolio which can be accessed at any time for future use and even added to another ePortfolio. In addition to files, the Library is also a space for users to share pre-designed templates with other users. Please note: Although content can be added and deleted from an ePortfolio, once files are stored in the Library, they cannot be deleted. |
|
Templates
Templates are pre-designed shells that exist within the library and that can be shared with a limited or unlimited number of users. These templates normally contain all the sections, subpages and modules that a user will need. |
