The Via ePortfolio system allows students to create online portfolios to showcase their learning and share with employers. It also offers faculty more effective ways to develop courses, provide timely feedback to students, and engage students in the learning process while providing a means of collecting and assessing student work.

Students upload their work to Via and create ePortfolios, faculty evaluate student work and provide formative feedback, and the institution measures student achievement of key learning outcomes.
