The DartWrite Portfolio project provides WordPress-based portfolio websites to all Dartmouth students. Supported by a grant from the Davis Educational Foundation, DartWrite fosters portfolio use across Dartmouth, supporting faculty and students in implementing portfolios inside and outside the classroom and driving research and assessment initiatives focused on understanding students' growth over time.

Need Help?

We have developed a support system for students and faculty who need help with their digital portfolios. If nothing below fits your needs, contact us to make a special request.

DartWrite How-To videos:

If you are using the Block Editor, the current "default" editor, your site offers built-in how-to videos for multiple topics. There are also videos on using WordPress's previous Classic Editor. You'll find these under Video Tutorials in the left side bar in your dashboard, as pictured below:

If you are using the Classic Editor, we've created posts to introduce students to basic editing concepts and functions on this site. You can find these posts here: DartWrite How-To Guides
