Presentations let you compile ePortfolio items into a web project to showcase your achievements. Your presentations can have multiple pages and use different themes and layouts. Presentations provide a polished, professional medium to demonstrate your learning and accomplishments.
Use the Content/Layout tab to add items to your presentations. You can add items on a single page or create multiple pages.
On the My Items page, click Copy from a presentation's context menu.

The following information does not copy:
Note You can copy presentations only from your own ePortfolio.
Note This will only change the title or description within the presentation.
NoteYou can display the following file types in-place: HTML, BMP, GIF, JPG, and PNG. Flash and QuickTime file formats require corresponding browser plugins.
Note The Comments enabled check box on the Edit Display options page corresponds to the Comments Enabled check box that appears on the Content/Layout tab. Selecting one enables the other and vice versa.
Use the Content/Layout tab to change where the navigation area appears on presentation pages and the arrangement of content.
Edit Presentation NavigationSets where the page naviagation appears. This is a presentation-level setting; you cannot select a different navigation position per presentation page.
Edit Page LayoutSets the positioning of the content areas. This is a page-level setting; each page in your presentation can have different page layouts.
Item context menus enable you to move items to different content areas, change the order of items within a content area, and remove items from your presentation.
Use the Pages section of Content/Layout tab to add new pages to your presentation and reorder existing pages. If you have a large presentation, you can hide pages from the navigation by editing their Page Properties.
Themes are default style templates that give your presentations a consistent look and feel. Themes are comprised of styles which control one aspect of the design. For example, there are separate styles that control the look of titles, links, dates, and images.
Your organization provides presentation themes, but you may be able to change some or all aspects of a theme.
Tip Use the Filter drop-down list to view specific groupings of elements.
A banner appears at the top of every page in a presentation. The presentation title usually appears in the banner, much like a header in a book. You can include additional text in the banner as a description.
On the Edit Presentation page, click on the Banner tab to enter a banner title and description.
Note The theme of the presentation controls the style of the banner, including the background and fonts used. Use the Theme tab to modify banner and presentation styles.
Users can view the various pages of your presentation by clicking the page names in the page navigation panel. You can also link the user to another page within the presentation by adding links to content areas. This provides greater flexibility in customization and organization of your presentation.
For example, a student may have three separate pages on their eportfolio: an About Me page, a personal philosophy page, and her work experience. In the middle of her About Me page, she may reference her skills and insert a custom quicklink to direct readers to her resume for further information.
