The document summarizes the development of the Learning Portfolio at McMaster University. It was created in response to the university president's letter on integrity to document students' curricular, co-curricular, and community learning. Initially, technical supports like PDF guides and videos were produced to help students and faculty use the portfolio. However, these focused more on the technical "how to" rather than the purpose or benefits of the portfolio. Feedback indicated users preferred resources that explained the reasons for the portfolio beyond just the mechanics of creating one.
