With LiveText software, students can create electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) of their work as part of class or program requirements or to display their work to potential employers. To view or edit a portfolio, only Internet access and a Web browser are needed. Students can add commentary to their e-portfolios and files such as Word, PowerPoint and PDF documents. They can also add digital images, audio and video.
LiveText software is available through the University Bookstore. Students make a one-time purchase of LiveText and have the option of using it semester after semester for all classes requiring e-portfolio entries. This software license, and all associated upgrades, are good for one year beyond graduation for undergraduates and for three years total for graduate students.
