This how to guide addresses the need for a participant (student) on a course to be able to copy a template view from the convenor (lecturer) so they can populate it, and share this with their advisor. The scenario is for people to update, share and sign off their PDPs on the e-Learning Unit on the PGCAPP Course.

This is divided into a number of steps;

Step 1: Copy the view (template) created by the unit convenor

  • Click on MyPortfolio
  • Click on Copy a View (green button, left hand side): scroll down and find the appropriate view (for the PGCAPP Unit 6 Oct 2010 cohort this is U6 PDP Template, owned by Geraldine Jones)
  • Click on the Copy View button. This will display the view in your ePortfolio

Step 2: Change the view name

Your new view should be displayed. At the moment the view has a title – copy of U6 PDP Template. You’ll need to change this to something more meaningful, ie U6 PDP. To do this,

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on Edit Title and Description. Change the details

Step 3: Sharing this view with your advisor

At the moment this view will be private, so only you can see it. However, you will need to edit view access and select your advisor from the list. To do this,

  • Click on Next: Edit Access at the bottom of the page
  • Click on the Add button next to the name of your advisor
  • Click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen
