Overview Evaluator External Evaluators

External Evaluators

Sometimes, students demonstrate important skills outside of school or a structured activity.  PortfoliOH allows students to document evidence at any time and freely choose who is the best fit to be an external evaluator of their work.

External evaluators must be approved by the student’s school Administrator before any work will be accessible to them.

After an external evaluator has been approved, they will receive an email invitation to evaluate student work on PortfoliOH each time students request their feedback. The instructions below detail how to accept this invitation, evaluate student work, and finish setting up your account for future evaluations.

Invitations to Evaluate Evidence

  2. PortfoliOH will open in a new tab or window. Click Start Evaluation.

    (The left side shows the student’s submission; the right side is where you enter your evaluation details, including time spent, skill progress, and any applicable work-based learning or community service credit. Learn more about Evaluations.)
