Institution Gateway Page

CN is now offering an institution gateway page to ePortfolio licensing institutions. This page gathers student ePortfolios from your institution, allowing industry partners and potential employers to search for and view talents. It also gives a new way to demonstrate the success of your ePortfolio initiative and overall education. 

Search the talent by ePortfolio at your institution

This page comes with a unique URL and branded institution-wide ePortfolio search features. You can link to this page from your institution's ePortfolio webpage or other web pages.

By default, this page displays the top 100 most completed ePortfolio cards at your institution. If you prefer displaying ePortfolios above a completion percentage or hiding specific ePortfolios, please reach out to the CN team. 

See example: iu.thecn.com

This page can be shared with external viewers like potential employers to find student talents. People who visit the page may use the search features to find specific ePortfolios. The search options include search by member name, skills, badges, or Showcases. 

Institution-branded sign-up/login page

From the institution gateway page, institutional members can also sign up for their CN account and/or log in. Based on the institution's use case, sign-up may be disabled. The institution sign-up/login page URL is typically the institution name or acronym ending with .thecn.com/login, for example, iu.thecn.com/login, Institutions may require members to use their institution email or a passcode to sign up. 

Please see the below example:
