In ePortfolio, how do I provide feedback in a wizard?

As a member of an ePortfolio site, you may be asked to give someone formative feedback (i.e., a review before the work is submitted for final evaluation) on all or part of a wizard. Whether you are providing peer review (e.g., student-to-student) or instructor/advisor-to-student review, the basic procedure is the same.

Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

To provide feedback in a wizard:

1. In the menubar of the appropriate worksite, click Wizards.
   
   
2. Click the name of the wizard you wish to open, and then select the name of the person for whom you will be providing feedback from the drop-down menu at the top of the page. Verify that you are viewing the correct participant's wizard before proceeding (the name of the participant should appear in a message like "Viewing the READ ONLY Wizard of Firstname Lastname" to the right of the wizard title).
   
   
3. Navigate to the appropriate page. In a step-by-step wizard, use Continue to reach the page you need. In an outline wizard, click the title of the page you need to review.
   
   
4. Click the names of any forms, items, and reflections to open and review them.
   
   
5. To provide general feedback, in the "General Feedback" area, click Add Feedback to open the Feedback form. To offer feedback on a specific item in the "Items" area, click Add Feedback next to the item to open the Feedback form for that item.
   
   
6. Fill in the form according to any instructions given in it. You may type your feedback directly into the text box, or copy and paste text from another document.
   
   
7. When you are finished adding feedback, click Save Changes to return to the wizard page. To return to the wizard page without saving your changes, click Cancel.

Note: ePortfolio does not currently provide any indication that feedback has been added to a wizard page. You may wish to email participants to let them know you have done so.
