Activities/Portfolio

Portfolio Activity

The portfolio activity creates a slide show from Journal entries that have been 'starred'...

How to use Portfolio

Before you launch the activity, use the ☆ on the left of each Journal entry to mark that entry for inclusion in the portfolio. The Portfolio Activity will use the entry title as well as the preview image and description.

When running the activity, use the ◀ and ▶ buttons to step one-by-one through the slide show. Use the autoplay button to start/pause a slide show. The delay between slides can be controlled by the slider. (The default is 2 seconds.)

Note that the colors used in the background are taken from the XO colors of the user.

As of Version 3, a warning is displayed if there are no starred entries in your Journal.

As of Version 4, the slide show can be saved as an HTML document that can be shared.

How to Save the content of you Portfolio to HTML

In order to share your portfolio, you need to save it as an HTML document. Select the option from the menu and the content of the portfolio will be saved as a document in the journal.

Mock-ups for future development

This are mock-ups previous to Walter's implementation. The activity icon and play icon needs to be updated in the toolbar, and also the timer selector.
