portfolio Type
There are now three types of portfolios:
1. Private - belongs to the course it is defined in only.
This is the standard Moodle module concept. You create a portfolio and its
portfolio content for the course it is defined in. Editing teachers of that course
can change the portfolio and all teachers can review the results.
2. Public - can be shared among courses.
This is a hybrid of the Moodle module concept. This provides a similar function
to the 'library of portfolios' from previous releases of this module. Public
portfolios can be assigned to a newly created portfolio. If a
portfolio uses a public portfolio from a different course, teachers
cannot edit the content nor view the results in the course that is using it.
Only teachers from the course that defined the original 'public' portfolio
can do this.
3. Template - can be copied and edited.
This type of portfolio cannot be used directly, but its content can be
copied into a new portfolio and edited.
