Ready for Semester End?

Here are some tips for the end of the semester in BOLT:

Check your progress!
Use Assessments > Class Progress to check where you stand in your classes.

Schedule any proctored exams.
Are you supposed to take a proctored exam? Make sure to schedule within the specified timeframe.

Download stuff!
Use Binder to download your course content. You can download Binder for iOS or Android devices. You can also use the Download feature to download your submissions and feedback from the Assignments tool.

Export ePortfolio!
Are you graduating? Take your ePortfolio with you. See the myDesire2Learn Access widget in BOLT for details on how to do this.

Congratulations 2016 Grads!

Take our advice to get the most out of your BOLT account.

Once you graduate, your BOLT account will only remain active until the semester you
graduated of the next academic year (if you graduate in December 16, your account will be
deactivated in early Fall 2017). Get what you need out of BOLT before then!

	Save and download your work. If you want to keep a copy of your scholarly work, make sure to download your submissions from BOLT assignments.
	Save and download course materials. If you want to keep course resources, download them from the course.
	Export your ePortfolio. Take your ePortfolio with you after you graduate! If you create an EduDentity account, you will be able to export your ePortfolio. Go to https://bolt.bloomu.edu and find the myDesire2Learn Access widget for more information!

Have you used ePortfolio?

ePortfolio is a tool that allows you to aggregate, organize, and share your learning artifacts from your courses at Bloomsburg University.


If your instructor wants to use ePortfolio, or you need to create a presentation to display your work, you will find our new documentation and tutorials on using ePortfolio useful.


You can find a student guide, step by step documentation, and video tutorials for ePortfolio at our Student Support Page http://departments.bloomu.edu/imdc/boltstudentsupport.html
