Create your course in 10 minutes with Learning Tracks

Learning Tracks are pre-built templates that provide flexible options to suit your fully online, hybrid, or face-to-face introductory French courses.

Once you’ve selected one of the expertly curated Learning Tracks as a base for your course, Portails will automatically set all of the assignments for the entire semester, as well as create your grade book. You can then add or delete activities, change due dates, customize assessments, or even add your own personal touches.

Gradebook Analytics

The Portails gradebook includes advanced analytics that give an overview of how well your section or individual students are performing—both overall and in the last two weeks. This insight is critical to knowing when to step in and where to provide guidance, so that performance improves and students remain successful in the course.

Assessment Builder

With new features and improved functionality, the Assessment Builder makes it possible for you to achieve your unique course objectives. Using Assessment Builder, you can easily:

Search and import from thousands of questions in the new Question Bank
Combine existing assessment content to create a new assessment
Create new questions using a variety of question types
Randomize exams to deliver a totally unique version to each student

"The new Assessment Builder is a game changer. Hats off to everyone who made it happen. We had been pulling our hair out because we had been doing assessment manually; there wasn’t another way. This new feature is everything."
