Foliotek Update!

The following message is for new students to the Foliotek system.


Foliotek is now available for students new to Foliotek. Please have students log into their Companion and click on the ePortfolio link at the top.

Remember:
Students should print out a copy of the receipt and log out of Foliotek and log out of the eCompanion. Next, log back into the eCompanion and click on the ePortfolio link to view their portfolio. They will not have an additional Foliotek login ID.

Students may have more than one portfolio - Teaching Field and Quality Teaching (QTS). They will need to accept the license agreement for both portfolios.
Students should only upload the document once into their "Files" tab located at the top of their screen. That document can be used to meet numerous standards by associating the document to the standard. This is done by selecting the option to add an existing file rather than uploading a file.
At the present time, students new to Foliotek will only see their teaching field portfolio and Alt. Majors will see Atl QTS. Students requiring Quality Teaching Standards (QTS) will have that portfolio available this week. The link will show up in the same location the Teaching Filed link is on their Foliotek home page.
