SPDC Portfolio

The Portfolio module, prior to Moodle 2.0 was a contributed module. In Moodle 2.0 Portfolios will be part of the standard install package. There are differences in the two modules.

Moodle 2.0 and later Portfolio

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

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.

A more complete description of the 2.0 module will be added later --Chris collman 15:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Moodle 1.9 and earlier Portfolio

The 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.

This contributed module was developed by Matt Oquist.
