The Portfolio in Moodle 2.0 is a new kind of feature in Moodle that manages files. Essentially it gathers a student's work that was performed in Moodle and puts it together in one place.  


While Portfolio in Moodle 2.0 performs many similar tasks to previous contributed code modules of the same name, it is not a module.  Thus, it is setup and administered in a different manner.
