For some time now people have been asking about e-Portfolios, but not getting very far! As we all know Becta expects all schools to have a Learning Platform with the capability of an e-Portfolio. The trouble is that most VLEs have their own sort-of-an-e-Portfolio embedded within their system which prevents any sort of interoperability for a whole host of reasons. I have developed what I think is the 'perfect' e-Portfolio for UK schools, ie 'portable' from one school to another either latterally or vertically. Free trials for small groups who want to get stuck in now! Good for an end-of-term project for Yr-9 or Yr-11 students. www.maximise-ict.co.uk/eFolio-01.htm

Hi, I've done a lot of work on developing the 'perfect' e-Portfolio for schools - in fact any age '5-95'. It's low-cost, hosted externally, and is also OCR capable. Far too much to say here. Look at my website, in particular the eFolio link: Maximise-ICT for Staff Training and Development many documents and policy statements etc.

Hi, I'm not a Joomla developer (yet) but would like to know your views on using Joomla to develop a full blown VLE, ie not only content management, but also providing on-line workspace for pupils and assessment/reporting functions. If all schools according to Becta must have a VLE "with a personal online workspace" does Joomla fit the bill? And if so where is it better than Moodle? I note that a number of schools are starting to use Joomla and just wonder how far it can be pushed? Forgive my ignorance but I've got to start somehwere.
