1. It's accessed at https://myportfolio.ucl.ac.uk/ -  or if a tutor on a Moodle space has enabled the MyPortfolio block, then via that too.
2. It's the only centrally-hosted environment at UCL specifically for students.
3. It's very good indeed at laying things out exactly as you want them.
4. It's very good at embedding different media and external web services eg timelines, maps, presentations, galleries.
5. You can make and join groups.
6. Students have total control over who sees what - the trade-off is that there may be a couple of extra steps to post your materials.
7. Everything you want to share or publish needs first to be put into a Page.

Is there a general 'Getting Started' guide?

Is it possible to share a Page or Collection I have produced with anyone or anywhere via "secret" link?

“Yes” the process is straightforward if, your Page or Collection is one that you created independently and not within a Group using the Group menu options. Follow these instructions:

1. From your Dashboard in MyPortfolio click on the Share button.
2. Under the Share heading, select either the Collections or Pages tab.
3. Identify the Collection/Page that you want a Secret URL for, and click on the adjacent Secret URLS icon.
4. Then click on + New secret URL.
5. Click on the Copy secret URL to clipboard icon and then you can paste the link wherever you want it to be.

If you want to share Pages or Collections created in a Group context please see your options below: I want to save my Group Project to my own Portfolio so I can export it. How can I do that?

Testmoz was developed by an undergraduate student at the University of Vancouver and does not require you to create an account. You need to know HTML to images or other media which are already hosted elsewhere (and which you are permitted to use in this way) by typing HTML into the question field when setting up the quiz (n.b. it doesn't work well with Flickr iframe embeds for example). It’s hosted, free, and tracks responses (exportable to CSV). However, there is no feedback on responses.
