Richer Picture - A digital portfolio of student achievement Is Your School Ready?
About Us

Requirements and Customization

The Richer Picture™ Digital Portfolio system is a web-based tool. To work with the portfolios, you will need:

  • Web browser (e.g, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox)
  • Media player (e.g, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, QuickTime)
  • Ability to upload data from student storage area or disk to server

As we work with your school, Ideas Consulting’s technology staff will customize the software to meet your specifications. Customization includes systems integration. For example, we will work with your IT department to determine how data such as class lists can be communicated between your school information system and the portfolio server. Customization may also include the generation of specific reports (such as progress reports for students or parents, or reports that meet your state’s data reporting guidelines).

Customization usually does not happen all at once; as your staff uses the system, they will determine what features they wish to add.
