I had a play with it about 12 months ago but I was never sure on how to integrate it with moodle. Mahara describes this process quite well (<a href="https://eduforge.org/docman/view.php/176/3200/Mahoodle.pdf">here</a>) so if Elgg work the same way I might revisit it but I think Mahara is a better portfolio.<br>

I've just started looking around their site and will put in on my laptop<br>

have any experience there, I know Roland does.<br>
