Tell me about MyBigCampus’ portfolios capabilities for K12. Can students store large files such as a five minute video and does it load quickly? Can the teacher access the student portfolios easily? Can the teacher monitor discussion between students as well as discussion to the whole class?

Hi Maureen! I used Bundles to make student portfolios with great success. To answer your question, students can upload any video up to 100 MB and it does load quickly. If it is larger than that, have them post to YouTube, then add their video to the MBC Library. Portfolios are easily shared by students making you a collaborator on the Bundle- then all student portfolios are in your Bundle storage in one place. As for discussions, teachers can access student-to-student communication through Reports and post class discussions in a Group Discussion. I invite you to watch more on e-portfolios here: http://www.mybigcampus.com/groups/mbc-trainers/group_pages/recorded-webinars---67267 or attend one live with me.

Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions about the portfolios as they truly are a great way to showcase student work!
