The ePortfolio-module in detail
Information
The informational page is used to display the main facts of a user. It can be considered as a personal starting page of a user (i.e. containing the cv).
Categories
Categories are used to structure ePortfolio artefacts. Categories can be added and maintained by using the categories-tab.
My Portfolio
Users can upload files, link to external websites (i.e. social media resources) or create notes. Artefacts can be composed to views. These views can then be published to other users of the Moodle-installation or into the web.
Links as well as files and notes have to be associated with categories and sub-categories. Additional information can be added by using the textfield for each artifact.
Association of artefacts with competencies
The exabis ePortfolio-module can be associated with our newest development - exabis competencies(this has to be done by the system administrator). Exabis competencies uses a pre-defined xml-structure to make competencies available in Moodle-courses.
This means that within the set of provided competencies users of the exabis eportfolio module may associate portfolio-artefacts with competencies. Teachers that use the block exabis competencies can then see which competencies of students were adduced by eportfolio-work. For more information see the manual of exabis competencies.
