Share your FutureLearn portfolio

FutureLearn portfolios allow you to create a digital presentation of the skills, competencies, achievements, and action plans that you have developed – all with opportunities for reflection. They are centred around you and offer a more personalised form of learning. They can also be a great way to show your potential and support you when transitioning between institutions, stages of education, professional development, and evidence for accreditation.

If you have created a portfolio as part of a FutureLearn program or degree, you can now share your portfolio with anyone using a new sharing link. You can turn this feature on or off at any point, allowing you to demonstrate your skills to others and get feedback on your work.

You can find the portfolio sharing link at the bottom of the portfolio page. Portfolios will be linked to through steps during your learning journey, and are visible on the program page.

This is what it looks like if you have portfolio sharing turned off:
