Sharing presentations with external users in ePortfolio


Sharing presentations with external users

You can share ePortfolio presentations with people who are not a part of your organization such as friends, parents, or potential employers.
You can share presentations with external users in two ways:
  • You can make the presentation publicly available to anyone through a URL. When you share a presentation this way people can only view the presentation. They cannot see, add comments to, add assessments to, or edit the presentation.
  • You can send a personal invite to view your presentation via an email and the recipient can follow the attached link to view the presentation. The recipient must set up a username and password, and then they can see and add comments or assessments based on the permissions you gave them. External users cannot edit presentations.

Make a presentation publicly available through a URL

Note  If you make a presentation public via URL, the system includes social media icons (Twitter, Google+, and Facebook) at the top of your presentation to enable further sharing.
