SAN DIEGO, July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) has chosen Portfolium's Student Success platform to assess students' learning artifacts while helping students share those same artifacts with employers as proof of competencies and skills.
Portfolium's ePortfolio technology will help students maintain lifelong access to curricular and co-curricular learning artifacts in order to reflect on their skills and navigate their career journeys. These skill-tagged artifacts can then be leveraged by students to land internship and employment opportunities through Portfolium's unique social network and TalentMatch features.
