Gathering feedback
Your Portflow portfolio largely consists of collections with evidence, but to learn and grow, feedback from others is also very important and even a requirement for your portfolio. You can ask for feedback from other students, student assistants or teachers. A fellow student can also give very valuable feedback; do not underestimate this. It is then important that you yourself write down the feedback . Always let the feedback giver validate that your interpretation of the feedback is correct. Someone can only give feedback if they have access to your portfolio (teachers) or separately access to a collection . Feedback is always linked to the version of the product.
Ask for feedback
To find out where you stand and what you can improve, feedback from others is very important. You also want to gather feedback regularly, not only when the product is finished (for ICT students a product is often never fully finished).
The approach is as follows:
Write down feedback
You write feedback down yourself so you can show what you learned from the feedback you received. It is important that you describe the product, the feedback you received (tips and tops!) and any follow-up actions you will take.
Always use the 'Add Comment' option to write feedback next to an evidence item.
You can then send a 'Request Comment Validation' to the person you received feedback from. They will get a notification that you have written down the feedback and that they can check whether you recorded it correctly.
Validate feedback
To close the feedback cycle it is important that the feedback giver (and especially teachers) still approves that the feedback you wrote down is correct. Optionally, a reply can be given to the feedback you recorded.
Share a collection for feedback
Someone can only give feedback if they have access to your portfolio or separate access to a collection. Teachers already have access to your full portfolio, but for students and student assistants you need to share a collection. To give someone access to a collection, go to the collection and click the 'Share' button.
When you share a collection with someone other than your teacher(s), it is important that you do not give them access for too long.
