TK20 Faculty Portfolios Support
Preferred Way for Portfolio Documentation Linking
Instead of using pre-defined tables within each section you can use the rich text area (Narrative) section to document evidence for your portfolio.
You can create your own tables and link in a similar method used in the previous system to make it more reviewer friendly.
When creating your own tables it is important that all of your artifacts be saved in the PDF (Portable Document Format) for all documentation otherwise it can break your portfolio. Ignore the Description box; the table function can be used anywhere you see the Narrative or Mini-Narrative sections.
