SPDC Portfolio

From MoodleDocs

Template:Moodle 2.0 In Moodle 2.0, Portfolio must be turned on using Advanced features.

A portfolio is a lot like a course when it comes to assignments and submissions. Each student is assigned several assignment in order to complete the portfolio, and those submitted assignments should be correlated back to the portfolio.

The Portfolio in Moodle 2.0 is a core set of interfaces that all Moodle code will/should use so that we can easily publish files to all kinds of external document repository systems. See description under "Moodle 1.9 and earlier Portfolio" heading.

Example application

A typical user story:

  1. When portfolios are enabled, every page or major piece of content in Moodle has a little "Save" button beside it.
  2. User clicks one of these buttons
  3. User is able to choose from a list of configured portfolios (this step will be skipped if there's only one).
  4. User may be asked to define the format of the captured content (eg pdf, IMS LD, HTML, XML ...)
  5. User may be asked to define some metadata to go with the captured content (some will be generated automatically).
  6. The content and metadata is COPIED to the external portfolio system
  7. User has an option to "Return to the page you left" or "Visit their portfolio".

Note this will be just as useful for teachers as for students.

Moodle 1.9 and earlier Portfolio versions

The contributed code versions can be found in the Modules and Plugin database for downloading and additional information.
