🎯 Purpose
Your Portfolio is your personal space in Otus to collect and showcase your best work. You can add artifacts, things like essays, projects, or other assignments, and connect them to the skills you've been building throughout the year. You and your teachers can both add and view artifacts, but you are in control of editing or deleting any artifact in your Portfolio.
Artifacts can be added and viewed by you and teachers.
All artifacts can be edited or deleted by you.
Teachers can only edit or delete artifacts that they have added.
If a teacher adds an artifact, their name will be listed under the artifact title.
💡 Why Use The Portfolio?
✅ Show your teachers and yourself how much you've grown over the school year.
✅ Connect your work to specific skills so your progress is easy to see.
✅ Reflect on your learning through writing, audio, or video.
✅ Build a collection of work you're proud of in one organized place.
✅ Find and revisit your past artifacts anytime using search or skill filters.
