Using the new portfolio function: Why do I get "Course assignment hidden for public share"..? The portfolio is published?
Thanks for that explanation. They got back to me right away with this information:
Our engineers are aware of this current limitation with showcase portfolios, and they are already working to release an improvement in a future update of the Portfolio tool. In the meantime, for an assignment to be shared publicly, the student needs to attach it to a Project, Extracurricular Activity, or Professional Experience. Our recommendation is to create a Project and add the course assignment as evidence within that project.
I am also curious about this. If I ask students to create a showcase portfolio for my class, it seems that sharing it via a link would be the best way to share it with me so that I could click on things within the portfolio. However, I can't click on the assignments they've added from my class. Why would a showcase portfolio be useful if the people students share the portfolio with can't access what's inside it?
We noticed this behavior as well and have reported it to the product team, but haven't gotten word of any change. This is a major blocker for our users, and is counter intuitive. Thanks for raising it here again!
Are there any updates on this issue? We have instructors who are interested in using Showcase Portfolio not Evaluation Portfolio as it seemed to be more similar to their experience with Portfolium. The fact that they cannot view student course assignments that are to be uploaded to the Portfolio as part of the assessment process is a big problem!
also would like an update on this
came to find the answer as well. A link is not useful if no one can see the evidence they share.
Is Canvas going to answer this question? My students are submitting showcase portfolios and I can't see the documents that they are uploading.
Hi @Barbara_Kehr6119,
The community forums here are mostly for peer (other Canvas users) to peer help. While there are some Instructure employees who post blogs, release notes, etc, the forums usually aren't a place to get a direct answer from Instructure. If you need a definitive answer, especially since nobody has responded to this question in a few months months, I'd suggest hat you contact Canvas support if that is an option at your school/institution.

I was wondering is anyone has had issues with only specific students in a course not being able to access SCORM content? We have a student who gets a connection error (see attached image) when trying to access SCORM content. Other students have no issues. This occurs on any device, browser (incognito included) and any…
Screen readers seem to read out the LaTex and not the equation.
Whenever possible, I prefer to have my students take in-class quizzes and tests on their laptops. But to make sure that they do it in the classroom, I've always put a password on the assessment and then given them the password. That way they can't take it somewhere else on their own (or somewhere else, not on their own).…
I use Respondus 4.0 for loading questions to my pools in Bb and now that we have moved to Canvas, I want to load them to an Item Bank. However, to do this, I need to have them downloadable as a QTI 2.1 option. My options or limited. #1 I can load to a Classic Quiz which my university does not prefer, download the questions…
Known issue - headings Just wanted to note that this known issue is described as 'styling', when it is actually an accessibility issue. Headings are structure on the page and essential for users who rely on screenreaders.
