<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I've had a bit more joy out of the SPDC module than the Exabis module.
Certainly Moodle needs a really good integtrated portfolio but I don't think
these modules quite do it yet. I would be really interested in what you found
and how students reacted to using either one of them. I was playing with the
idea of using the blog part of their profile but I guess this is a bit
simplistic.&nbsp;Students need a repository in Moodle where they can keep their
files and be able to link these to their portfolios simply and easily. The Elgg
integration block is a good idea but a bit of an over kill particularly for
younger students. What do you think?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
