Portfolios: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:19, 30 September 2012

Portfolios in Moodle make it easy for a student to export their work to an external portfolio. For example, student work might include forum posts or assignment submissions that they believe demonstrates their knowledge.

Portfolios are disabled by default in Moodle and must be enabled by a site administrator. See Managing portfolios for details.

Exporting to portfolio

When portfolios are enabled, forum posts and other exportable data (see below) have an export to portfolio icon or link beside them.

To export a forum post to a portfolio

Click the 'Export to portfolio' link
Select the portfolio you wish to export to e.g. Google Docs or file download (this step will be skipped if there's only one)
If prompted, select an export format e.g. HTML
If file download was selected in step 2, you can then save the file, otherwise you will be given the option to return to the page you were previously viewing or visit your portfolio (certain portfolios only)
