DU Portfolio Community

Portfolio is a fully developed web-based application that supports the academic community with a searchable database of electronic portfolios for students, faculty, staff, and alumni, community discussion, academic program assessment based on student work, and an assessment rubric library.

The University of Denver Portfolio Community was created through a joint effort involving DU students, faculty members, and staff, and was funded in part by a generous grant from the Donald and Susan Sturm foundation. It is maintained by DU's Center for Teaching and Learning.

Personal Portfolios

Any person with a DU ID number and passcode may develop an electronic portfolio. Simply log in and select ‘Create Portfolio.’ Items in the portfolio may be set as private or made available to the public, to the DU community, or to selected groups of individuals.

Community Portfolios

DU students, staff, or faculty members may request a community portfolio under the ‘Community’ tab, and the request will be evaluated by the portfolio community liaison. Community portfolios are used by committees, student groups, and faculty groups as a web space for sharing information, discussion, and maintaining contact.

Course Portfolios

All DU instructors may view a list of students in their courses through DUPC, and have the option of setting up a course portfolio. The course instructor may choose to make content in the course portfolio available to only the students in the course, to select groups of individuals, or to the public.

Portfolio Assessment Tools

The assessment tools enable students, instructors and advisors to measure student learning, and to use the results to effectively improve the curriculum.

DU portfolios provide a mechanism for unprecedented levels of sharing and communication within the DU community as well as with the world beyond the campus.
