| Abstract [eng] |
There are many definitions about e-portfelio. To my mind, L. Dawley (2007) defines it in the most understandable way. For e- portfelio to become so popular and widely used Wiki and Blog appearance had a great influence. At the moment there are more than one ten of e- portfelio systems. They differ in functionality, approachability, etc. Some work independently, while others are integrated into already existing systems. Most of the systems are commercial and made for the specific enterprise and its needs. Only some e-portfelio systems were chosen for deeper analysis. They are Mahara, Mofolio and Exabi E-Portfelio. Mahara is totally independent and stand-alone system where user himself has to put his achievements. Mofolio technology also acts as stand-alone system though it belongs to Moodle system. Exabi is integrated into VMA Moodle system. Exabi E-Portfelio technology fitted for Šiauliai University was also used in this paper. The advantage of this system comparing with the others is that the system is integrated into VMA Moodle environment and there is a possibility to import from user’s registered courses the works that were sent for evaluation and which can make a content of E-Portfelio achievements. This system was localized (translated into Lithuanian) because users of different level could use it and orient there easier. An additional function was installed that allow users themselves to insert recommended categories which facilitate creation of E-Portfelio, screening of competences and accumulation of other information. The categories can be created by the user himself. Recommended categories are suggested by scientist and Board of Education of Lithuanian Republic. |
