Abstract

The system and method allows a user to share a portfolio with entities external to the learning management system, e.g. an employer, a potential employer, another learning institution, alumni, friends, family, any party interested in learning about the student's achievements. A portfolio may store all of the materials a user has worked on for one or more courses. Portfolios may also include user progress toward achieving standards at a granular level, such as academic competencies. System users may be able to search for portfolios based on one or more competencies to identify users that are qualified in a particular field or skillset. Through the portfolio web site, a user can share portions of the portfolios with other users via a URL. The URL or internet address may be specific to a student or provide general access to student portfolios. The entity may need to supply credentials, including a username, password, or PKI to access the portfolio associated with the URL or internet address.
