Overview

If you've been asked to create a ARCHIVED: Taskstream web folio for one of your classes, your instructor may also require you to provide the URL for your web folio as the submission to a Canvas assignment. Before you can do this, you first have to publish your web folio in Taskstream. Once you've published your web folio, you can provide the folio URL (and optional password) as a Canvas assignment submission. See below for instructions.
