What is Folio?

Folio is Canvas' ePortfolio software. Folio is tied to the user's profile and not to a specific course. Students and instructors who are enrolled in a course can build an unlimited number of ePortfolios in which to collect and document their educational projects, submissions, experiences, and other work products. Users can keep ePortfolios private or share them with other students, instructors, and/or future employers. Canvas also allows users to export ePortfolios to a zip file to send and share with others.

In Canvas, Folio remain active as long as the user maintains a Carroll CC login. ePortfolios can be set to allow private or public access. Those with administrative access can download a report of all ePortfolios in an account from the Account / Settings / Reports tab.
