This document provides an overview of ePortfolios and how to use the Desire2Learn (D2L) ePortfolio tool at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. It defines what an ePortfolio is, explains that UWO uses ePortfolios for assessment, employment, and learning management, and provides examples of other ePortfolio platforms. It then guides the reader through creating and populating their own ePortfolio on D2L, including adding content, links, pages, and collections, as well as designing a presentation.
