Multimodal evidence?

It looks like you can't add/embed a video introduction or photo in the introduction section of the Showcase portfolio. This is a disappointment as we used to use Portfolium to encourage our students to develop their oral presentation skills and begin to practice telling the story of their learning and skill development - a key learning outcome and goal of their college education.

Hi @cbazar ,

Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate it! The product is still in an early phase, so the RCE currently does not support videos or embedded images.

As a workaround, learners can upload images to custom portfolio evidence and reference videos as links while we continue working to make the product more robust and flexible in the future.
