Aus der Schmiede von Graham Attwell kommt ein neuer ePortfolio Ansatz: social ePortfolio versucht mit einen erweiterten Funktionsumfang den Anliegen von Lernern gerecht zu werden.
Pontydysgu.org » Blog Archive » Announcing Freefolio – a social e-Portfolio:
Why didn’t we work with an existing system? We thought very hard about it. It seemed that many of the dedicated e-Portfolio systems were too restrictive. They started from an institutional definitions of what learning would be represents through the e-Portfolio. Others – like Mahara – seemed geared towards particular sectors in education. On the other hand many people were using blogging and social networking systems for e-Portfolio development. that was nearer my idea. However, we were concerned that the basic structure of a blog entry did not provide another support for reflecting on learning.
And so we came up with Freefolio. Freefolio is based on WordPress. Within this we have implemented structured blogging, allowing XML templates to be added to the dashboard for particular kinds of post.
The system also features:
a) A space of aggregating community posts – ‘Community Central’
b) An integrated discussion forum
c) A resource area – based on integration of media wiki
d) A learner profile area
e) Learner based access controls
f) User based sidebars through widgets
g) A standards compliant (Europass) CV with different formats for export
There is more work to do – isn’t there always – and we know this version may not support everything you want of an e-Portfolio. But it is Open Source and easily extendable.
Freefolio ist also draußen und darf nach Herzenslust ausgetestet werden!
Danke in Richtung Pontydusgu für die Arbeit – und alle, die daran beteiligt waren! 
Bis denne
