			A quick overview of the Open University electronic portfolio tool and describing its technical underpinning to provide more background information.

			From the session, I am keen to:
			* gauge people's interest in the tool;
			* discuss how the tool can integrate with other Moodle tools around the concept of personal data storage;
			* gather interest and collaboration;

	My colleague Chetz Colwell and I would like to give a brief demonstration of assistive technologies to developers, particularly core developers, and discuss future accessibility work on Moodle. We'll hopefully have a screen reader JAWS (Thunder?), screen magnifier, do a keyboard-only demo, and possibly speech recognition.

			The aim is to discuss recent user tagging in Moodle and how it can be used; to think about what else can be tagged (courses, resources, activities etc); and to think about how Moodle can be made more social. Here are some suggestions made to me recently:

			* Learning twitter
			* Learning shared to do
			* Offering self-organising groups of learners their own activity areas (forums etc)
			* shared activity reports
