Getting Ready

Computer Requirements

Here are some tips to help ensure the optimal experience.

Internet access HMH Portfolio is a SaaS offering delivered in the cloud, letting you access your account anywhere, anytime with Internet access.

HMH Portfolio incorporates responsive design. For tablet use, users may simply log in through the tablet's browser (Safari or Chrome recommended) for full functionality in their accounts.

Our mobile apps for phones are available in the AppStore and Google Play for Android. Key word: SchoolChapters Remote

Our offline mobile app is available for iPad and is currently being updated.

Further, we recommend that Wi-Fi networks, if in use, are able to support a class of users with adequate upload and download speeds.

Browsers For optimal use, we recommend using a browser that supports HTML5, such as recent versions of Chrome and Firefox. If you're unsure of compatibility, try using an online test such as the one found here:

We support: Mozilla Firefox 22+, Chrome 25+, IE 10+, Safari 6+. There is a known issue with the uploader when using IE11 that requires users to drag and drop files.

Hardware Please ensure computers and tablets are compatible with a recommended browser.

HMH Portfolio Users will need a username and password to log in to HMH Portfolio accounts, unless accessing from their school's LMS. Usernames are email addresses.

Other Settings Considerations Allow Third Party Cookies - required for single sign-on (SSO). Please ensure JavaScript is enabled. Allow emails from @, @. (email filters)

HMH Portfolio Site Map

General Site Map: The diagram below is a high level overview of the site

organization and features. Note that some features are only available to some users based on role. Role also determines some user capabilities in the My Courses area. For example, instructors and administrators have the ability to create assignments and course content, while students can access content and submit assignments. The same is true for some tools. For example, only administrators can create evaluations, but they can be assigned and completed by users with any role.
