Portfolium Retirement Notice

Instructure will officially retire Portfolium on June 30, 2026. To support students in transitioning to new portfolio tools, Wilmington University has adopted two platforms:

  • LinkedIn – for creating public-facing professional portfolios that highlight career readiness and connect with industry networks.
  • Google Sites – a customizable digital portfolio tool that allows students to showcase academic work, projects, and achievements in a flexible format. This platform supports career development through personalized content and full control over presentation.

These platforms empowers students to build and maintain a professional presence that extends beyond graduation. Please refer to Academic Work Preservation for the most current recommendations on how to download submissions from Canvas.
