Portflow

More control over your personal settings
From now on, you can set a number of personal preferences. For instance, you can change the language of the interface, choose whether descriptions are collapsed or immediately visible by default, and set whether you want to receive e-mail notifications. These settings make the platform more personal and user-friendly, tailored to your preferences. 

Brightspace text submissions now also as evidence
Good news for users combining Portflow with Brightspace: from now on, assignments of the text submission type - i.e. assignments without attachments - can also be added as evidence within Portflow.

Coaching Dashboard extended with filter on sections

Then it's useful to know that in the Portflow Coaching Dashboard you can now filter by students within a specific section. This makes coaching and guiding students clearer and more efficient.
