  • A personal learning journey with adequate scaffolding along the route

… to build the skill-set for career-ready professionals

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.

Synergised with your VLE

Portflow’s integration with your VLE (Canvas by Instructure, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Blackboard by Anthology) goes far beyond an integration for a seamless end-user experience.

“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.”

Brigit Kolen, Fontys University of Applied Sciences

“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”

Geert van der Wijk, Product Owner – Educational Systems, Windesheim
