Just wondering if anyone has come up with a best practice for making eportfolios?

Could you make an ep a content type, and then be able to do a search (or view) of that? I'd like to have a place where students can post their best work, but also blog about the process, and allow comments from others.

TIA,
Bob

How many portfolios per student?

If each student will only have one portfolio per site, then either Flag, Nodequeue, and/or Workflow would be good to collect posts, and Views could be used to display the posts collected by individual users.

If you want people to be able to create multiple portfolios, use the Book Manager module. It allows users to create multiple books, and only the owner of the book can insert pages into it. In short, it works like core book module, except that users "own" books.

Cheers,

Thanks, Bill. For now, the plan is for one portfolio per student per site. Which of the 3 modules would serve us best?

Or would I be smarter to plan for the future and just go with the Book Manager module?
