Portfolios in Moodle make it easy for a student to export their work to an external portfolio. For example, student work might include forum posts or assignment submissions that they believe demonstrates their knowledge.
Using portfolios
Basic steps
- When portfolios are enabled, forum posts and other exportable data (see below) have a save link beside them.
- 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 export format of the captured content e.g. HTML, images and text.
- 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 the option to return to the page they were previously viewing or visit the their portfolio (certain portfolios only).
Export examples
- Assignment submissions - single and multiple file uploads
- Chat sessions
- Database activity module entries (##export## tag may be added to list and single templates)
- Database activities
- Forum posts
- Glossary entries
Export formats
Possible export formats include
- HTML
- LEAP2A, a specification for e-portfolio portability
- Images
- Text
Additional formats such as PDF can be added.
Enabling portfolios
Enabling the use of portfolios in Moodle is a 2-step process for a site administrator:
