Dr Paul Chander has spoken favourably about Elgg. I wonder if I could draw him into this discussion. Elgg integration may be the way to go.<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 24/02/2008, <b class="gmail_sendername">Phil Brown</b> <<a href="mailto:pdbrown@gmail.com">pdbrown@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>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. 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?</div>
