Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about scalability, access control, and collaborative review.
I would like to explore how institutions are effectively using Canvas Portfolios in multi-educator environments.
How do you manage shared access to student portfolios among multiple educators, evaluators, or mentors?
What workflows do you use to ensure consistent and transparent assessment across different educators?
Do you integrate portfolios with Canvas Assignments, SpeedGrader, or Outcomes for formal evaluation?
How do you handle moderation, feedback tracking, and quality assurance when more than one educator is involved?
What best practices would you recommend for scaling portfolio assessment for large cohorts (e.g., 50–200 students)?
From a pedagogical and administrative perspective, portfolios have great potential to support authentic assessment and competency-based education. However, optimizing collaborative evaluation workflows is essential to fully realize their value.
I would greatly appreciate hearing about your institutional practices, technical solutions, and lessons learned.
