ACU and Embanet Develop Moodle ePortfolio

  • 03/04/09
Abilene Christian University and its online learning services integrator, Embanet, have developed a new ePortfolio system for use with ACU's Moodle learning management system. The system requires students to post reflections to accompany all their ePortfolio materials. ACU Director of Distance Learning Gary Tucker comments, "The exciting aspect of this software is that it not only allows students to build a strong portfolio of representative work, but it requires them to reflect on what they learned and why it is important." ACU and Embanet plan to test the system and then release it to the Moodle open source community.
