Add Page If your university allows you, you can also add you own pages in addition to the structure they require. You may name your new page on the 'Add Page' screen.
Share Page There are three options under the 'Share Page' link. You may share with a predefined group of system users; share with an individual system user; or make the portfolio or portions of the portfolio available on a secure web site for a specified length of time. This last option can require a password or not, depending upon your preference.

Submit Assessment The 'Submit Assessment' option is available to those sections of the ePortfolio that have rubrics attached. If you don't see this link, you may not be on a page that can be assessed- check you're on a page that the university has created for you, and check you're on the right page for this assessment.
