Extend Your VLE With our Learning Experience Portfolio
Portflow is an LTI app or plug-in designed for integration with your Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It allows students to collect and organise artefacts and feedback (evidence) that showcase the development of their skills throughout their studies, reflecting their personal learning journey.
Portflow focusses on the learning process, rather than just the results
Students can seek feedback and valuable insights from teachers, peers, and experts on their progress. Teachers play a supportive role by offering necessary guidance (scaffolding) throughout this journey.
“Student ownership has become visible very quickly because of Portflow. It all becomes much more trackable what a student is doing and what that learning journey looks like. That visibility is very easily seen in the growth and self-sufficiency of students.”
“We employ Portflow as a catalyst for our initiated educational transition towards learning outcome-oriented practice, making the connections between learning activities and contexts to the learning outcomes. Students use Portflow to visualize their learning process and demonstrate learning outcomes while being at the wheel of their education”

Enhancing Transferable Skill Development at the University of Limerick
The University of Limerick (UL) has successfully integrated Portflow to significantly enhance transferable skill development among its students.
UL defines transferable skills as abilities to address complex problems in society and the workplace. UL’s focus is on developing, recognising, recording, and rewarding these skills, with the ultimate goal to empower students for lifelong success and valuable societal contribution.
This approach supports students in graduating with not just a degree, but also a demonstrable combination of knowledge and skills, proving invaluable in an AI-influenced world where human skills are paramount. Portflow provides UL with the digital infrastructure necessary for putting this approach into practice.
“For us, Portflow is an effective platform to help us achieve our objectives. It offers a straightforward and user-friendly way to support active and conscious skill development. Building a culture of skills development and skills capture is a challenge, but now we have the right technology. It’s now up to us to build the right mindset!”
