A Guide to Portfolio Tasks for Students

When you open your portfolio, knowing exactly where to start can sometimes feel a little overwhelming! To help guide your learning journey, your school may provide Portfolio Tasks—specific prompts and activities designed to inspire your best work and help you build an amazing portfolio.

How to Access Your Tasks

We have made it easy to see exactly what you need to work on as soon as you log in.

• Portfolio Dashboard: On your main Portfolios page, look for a banner highlighting your tasks.
• Any portfolios with assigned tasks will show quick progress indicators: **Start Tasks, **if you haven't completed any tasks in the portfolio yet, the number of tasks completed and required once you've started working on some tasks, or **Tasks Completed ** once all of your assigned tasks are complete.
• The Tasks Tab: When you open a portfolio that has assigned tasks, you will see a Tasks tab next to the Feed. This organizes your tasks into a "To Do" list and a "Completed" list.
• myBlueprint+ Dashboard: If your school uses the myBlueprint+ Career Education module, you can also find and start your portfolio tasks directly from the dedicated Tasks page on your myBlueprint+ dashboard!

Completing a Task

A task is completed by creating the required number of posts in one of two ways.

Method 1: Starting from the Tasks Tab (Recommended)

1. Click Portfolios **and open a portfolio with tasks, or click the **View Tasks button on the Career Education dashboard.
2. Click on any incomplete task card to open the instruction panel. Here you can read the prompt and view any helpful resources or attachments.
3. After reviewing the instructions and attachments, click the blue Start Task button.
4. The Create Post screen will open with the correct task and portfolio section already pre-selected for you, saving you time!
5. Add the content required to complete the task, including any media attachments, and click Post.

Method 2: Selecting a Task from a New Post

1. Click the + Create button to start a new post in your portfolio Feed, or click one of the 'Add to Portfolio' options in myBlueprint (on an occupation or post-secondary program, for example).
2. Select a portfolio (if not already pre-selected), then a Section where you'd like to add the post
3. Look for the Portfolio Task dropdown menu on the right side of the screen.
4. Select the task you want to complete from the list. The task instructions will automatically appear at the top of your screen to help guide your writing.
5. Add the content required to complete the task, including any media attachments, and click Post.

Tip: Pay attention to the required number of posts! Some tasks might ask you to create more than one post to fully complete them. You can always link more posts to a task than required if you have extra evidence to share.

Copying Existing Posts to a Task

Did you already create a fantastic post that perfectly answers a new task? While you cannot link an already published post directly to a new task, you can easily copy your previous work!

1. Find the existing post you want to reuse in your feed - either within a Portfolio, a Class, or in your All Class Posts feed.
2. Click the three dots (...) menu on the post and select Copy Post.
3. This will open a new draft with your previous content already filled in. Select the **Section **that includes the task you want to complete.
4. Use the Portfolio Task dropdown menu on the right to link this copied work to your task, and click Post!
