[Moodle] elearning portfolios in moodle

[Roland Gesthuizen]

This is how easy it gets with Mahara and Moodle.

When a student gets ready to upload an assignment, resource etc to Moodle
then there is an option to also add the object to their Mahara ePortfolio.
Their classes may come and go each year . but they get to keep and manage
their ePortfolio throughout their life at the college with complete control
over how they use, adapt and skin it.

It makes a lot of sense when you think about Moodle this way, rather than
try to be all things to all people .. this is where you tie third party
applications into it (supporting single sign-in etc.) Here is a cool 9 min
video that will walk you this process and explain how Mahara works.

All up, it just uses the same PHP and MySQL tools that Moodle uses and
Kevork teaches in his cool text book. We are building our Mahara server next
week and it will be fun.
