What’s a DRF?
A DRF is a Directed Response Folio. DRFs allow users, as Authors, to assemble work to satisfy
program-related requirements and submit it to an Evaluator for evaluation. Work might include online forms, text
blocks, etc. provided by instructors via the DRF template, and/or uploaded work les such as documents, slideshows
and videos. A DRF program might be equivalent to a full academic program, a course, or any other division of study
at your organization. Authors enrolled into a DRF program can also request feedback on their work, publish it to the
web, and email it to other Taskstream users or external email addresses.
How do I enroll myself in a program? If you are expected to enroll yourself as an Author in a DRF program so that
you can submit work for evaluation, your instructor should have provided you with a program self-enrollment code. If
you have not been provided with a program code, you will need to contact your instructor, or the SPCC IE department in
OCH A, Suite 300 or call 704.290.5873. Follow the directions on your program code sheet or use these steps:
(1) Click the Self-enrollment code button at the bottom of the home page. If you are already enrolled in a number
of programs, you may need to scroll to see this.
(2) Enter the program code you were provided. Be sure not to enter any additional spaces.
(3) Click the Search button. If you have entered a valid program code for your program, you should see information
about the program.
(4) If this is the appropriate program, click the Enroll button. You will then be notied that you were successfully
enrolled into the program. If you are not sure this is the correct program, you may wish to clarify with your
instructor. ere is a dierent DRF for all programs as well as a Core Skills area for each school
(e.g., Applied Science and Technology).
(5) Once fully enrolled in your DRF, select the appropriate program assignment link.
