Box portfolio

From MoodleDocs
(Redirected from Box.net portfolio)

IMPORTANT: From December 14 2013, the way Moodle and Box connect changed. Sites need to upgrade to Moodle 2.5.3 before then and ensure they are using HTTPS in order to continue using the Box portfolio. See Box APIv1 migration for details.

Enabling the Box portfolio

Note: In order to use the Box portfolio, your Moodle site must use HTTPS. In addition, an administrator must obtain a Box.net client ID and secret, as described in Box.net APIv1 migration. The client ID and secret can then be used to configure all Box plugins.

  1. Go to Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Portfolios > Manage Portfolios
  2. Activate the Box portfolio by selecting 'Enabled and visible' in the dropdown menu
  3. Configure each portfolio by entering the client ID and secret
  4. Save changes

Sending/"pushing" your files to Box

  • You can export items such as assignments, chat and forum posts to enabled portfolios such as Box. Here is an example with a forum post:
  • At the bottom of your completed forum post are the words "export to portfolio".

  • Click the words "export to portfolio" and then select from the dropdown Box.net (If it is the only portfolio enabled, it will be the only choice!)
  • On the next screen, choose your sharing options and which folder to export to:

  • The "export complete" message will appear. Clicking "continue" will take you to Box if you wish.
