Student Experience: Writing Portfolios

Writing Portfolios offer students a streamlined way to access all of their previous writing submissions in NoRedInk.

❗ Writing Portfolios are not visible within Canvas or Schoology. Students can access their Portfolios by logging into NoRedInk directly.

When students log in to their NoRedInk account, they'll see a green circle next to their Quiz Average that shows the current number of submissions saved in the student's Portfolio. When they select that green circle, they’ll be brought to their Writing Portfolio page. Students can also access their Writing Portfolio on the Past Work page of their account. 

A student's Portfolio lists all of the student's writing submissions in a grid view. Each Portfolio submission (card) displays:

• The submission title
• A preview of the writing
• A star for featuring pieces that students are especially proud of
• A tooltip showing the assignment name, type, and due date

Publishing their Portfolio pieces

Students can publish their submissions at any time to make them available for their teachers to view. To publish an individual writing submission, you can follow these steps:

1. In the Writing Portfolio, locate the submission you wish to publish.
2. Select the Publish button in the bottom left of the unpublished writing submission.
   

Students can also publish all of their submissions at once with the Publish all of my portfolio pieces button at the top of their Writing Portfolio page.

Viewing their Portfolio pieces

Students can select a card to see the submission's full text. Portfolio writing submissions will show a modal with just the text and a View More button.

Selecting the View More button from the Portfolio writing submission modal will open the submission's original assignment view, where the students can view their grades and comments saved by the teacher.

💡 This assignment view is also available on the student's Past Work page!

Featuring their Portfolio pieces

Students can feature assignments they are very proud of and have them front and center for their teachers to view. To feature a writing submission, that writing must be published first. To feature a writing submission, you can follow these steps:

1. In the Writing Portfolio, locate the submission you wish to publish.
2. Select the Star icon in the bottom left of the published writing submission.

💡 If you are previewing a portoflio using our student view feature, you will not see the star to feature a writing piece.
