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