About the Profile e-portfolio system …
The Profile system provides students with a personal, secure electronic portfolio, in which they can interact with web-forms to document their learning activities.
The e-portfolio is ‘owned’ by the student and requires him/her to obtain a login to:
Access the portfolio. Interact with it by filling in forms and uploading
evidence. Invite in tutors to view, comment and sign off work
(as appropriate).
You as a tutor also need a username and password
Your username
Your username for Profile will be your email address.
Make sure that the person at your university responsible for setting up your Profile account has your correct email details.
If you are unsure who that person is, email [email protected] with details of your course.
Your password Your password will be sent to your email
account once you have activated your Profile account.
The rest of this tutorial explains how to obtain a password and access your students’ e-portfolios.
Please note that the password is in the form of two words separated by a hyphen (-). Make sure you include the hyphen when entering your account.
An example of a password is happy-ear
