eFolio Upgrade Weds 17th Sept

Please note that eFolio may be unavailable at times between 8am – 9am on Weds 17th September while we upgrade the system.

We are implementing several new features, as well as upgrading the wordpress element to v 4.0. If you have any questions or concerns please email alexfurr@soton.ac.uk

A full list of features is described below

New Features

1. WordPress upgrade to v 4.o.

2. LinkedIn Integration

You can now integrate your linkedin profile with your eFolio profile. This allows you to display your LinkedIn CV / profile in your wordpress ePortfolio, or request feedback from your personal tutor about your CV.

3. Graduation Pack

This new feature aimed at graduating students allows them to create a personalised PDF download that highlights all their accomplishments during their time at the University.

You can choose from a selection of styles, embed your LinkedIn CV, list your modules and grades, assignments, skills and competencies and other achievements.

4. Other tweaks / changes

  • For staff, if you are using the skills and competencies application for skills audit, you can now choose to hide the ‘percent complete’ graph from students, as this is not applicable in this situation
  • We’ve implemented a new PGCE wordpress theme aimed at PGCE students. This includes targets and action plans and weekly reviews. Only use this if you are enrolled on a PGCE course!

If you’d like more information on any of these changes / new features please get in touch.

Alex and the eFolio team.
