Template:Moodle 2.0Portfolios in Moodle 2.0 onwards enable data, such as forum posts or assignment submissions, to be exported to external systems.


Enabling portfolios

Enabling the use of portfolios is a 2-step process for an administrator:

  1. Check the enableportfolios box in Site Administration > Advanced features
  2. Enable selected portfolio plugins in Site Administration > Plugins > Portfolios > Manage portfolios

Portfolio plugins

Portfolio plugins available in Moodle 2.0 include:

  • Box.net internet storage
  • File download
  • Flickr online photo management system
  • Google Docs
  • Mahara ePortfolio
  • Picasa

Using portfolios

  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".
