For information on accessing a portfolio wizard, see Accessing a portfolio wizard.

Note: Wizards are highly customizable. The number of pages, their titles, and the contents in each page can vary widely from one wizard to the next. The instructions presented in this and other help documents are generalized and may not exactly reflect the contents and appearance of the wizard with which you are working.

For an outline wizard, open the wizard, and click the title of the page with which you wish to work. For a step-by-step wizard, open the wizard, and click Continue to navigate to the desired page. When the page opens, you can click the View Information and Instructions link to access instructions for how to complete the wizard page. You may also see examples of items you are expected to provide, rationale for the assignment, a rubric for the assignment, and expectations for the assignment. You will be doing some or all of the following:

Completing forms

If you see Complete [Form Name] (where Form Name is the name of the form) in the "Items" area of the page, you may be expected to add one or more forms to this particular wizard page. Forms are the electronic counterparts to paper forms, such as those you fill out to submit applications, complete surveys, and so on. Each form consists of a name, instructions to the user, and a set of custom data entry fields with descriptive field names. The instructions and the field names will guide you in filling in the form appropriately.

To open and complete the form, click Complete [Form Name]. When the form opens, complete the necessary fields, and then click Save Changes.

Adding artifacts

Artifacts are examples of your work. You add artifacts to a particular wizard page as instructed to support or demonstrate your mastery of specific learning goals. Artifacts can be almost any type of file (e.g., text files, PowerPoint presentations, video files, audio files, images, the URL for a resource on the web). To attach one or more artifacts to a wizard page:

From the first screen of the wizard, in the "Items" section, click Add Attachments(s).
To attach an item from a Resources folder, in the "Select a resource" section at the bottom of the screen, find the file and, to the right of the file name, click Attach a copy.
To attach an item from another location (e.g., your hard drive), click Browse. Navigate to the file you want, select it, and click Open.
When you see your file displayed under "Items to attach:", click Continue.
When the file appears in the "Items" section, click Back to the Wizard.

To remove a file from a wizard page, click the delete icon (

The delete icon is a white page with a red circle in the corner.

Adding reflections

If there is a Reflection section on your wizard page, click Complete Reflection to open the Reflection form. Type your reflection into the form or copy and paste text from an existing document. When you have finished entering text, click Save Changes at the bottom of the screen.

Submitting for evaluation

Note: The Submit Page for Evaluation button is not visible until you add the first artifact, form, or reflection to the page. Do not click the button until you have completed all the required tasks and carefully reviewed your work. Once you submit a page for evaluation, the content in the page is locked and cannot be revised or deleted.

When you have added all of the necessary items, filled out any required forms, and completed any required reflections, you can submit the wizard page for evaluation. To submit the page, click Submit Page for Evaluation. You will be prompted to confirm your submission. Click Submit to confirm and return to the wizard. After confirming your submission in an outline wizard, you are returned to the page you just submitted, whereas the same action in a step-by-step wizard returns you to the main page.

To see the evaluator's comments and rating once the page has been evaluated, return to the page, and click the title of the evaluation form(s) in the "Evaluations" area.
