How does the free Folio version in Canvas work?

Hi, I am trying to add some info to the training I am creating for students on how to use 'Folio' which is the free version in the account profile. I seem to not be able to find any video or guides on that, only on pathways and portfolium or eportfolio. I am very confused about all the options that are there and not finding anything about Folio. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi @ClaudiaZysk - we have not yet started to use the free Folios, but I came across a course that might be helpful to you: The Portfolium Network - ePortfolios Reinvented.

Hi.. can you advise if the free Canvas 'Folio' is the same as the ePortfolio product mentioned in the guides? Many thanks

I have the same concern. I want to show my students "how to", but not clear about folio versus eportfolio versus portfolium.

I know how to use them for the most part--but my Canvas shows e-portfolio and folio---but all of the guides only say e-portfolio.

Look forward to any background info!

Thanks
