Customizing Portfolio Tools in Sakai

The portfolio tools in Sakai provide great flexibility for ePortfolio implementations but require customization using the tool interface and .xml coding. Out of the box, Sakai portfolio tools don't actually do anything, but with careful design and customization, they support multiple portfolio processes across a variety of contexts. The portfolio tools operate in combination with each other to provide many possible solutions for different educational purposes.

This session will provide an overview of how to customize portfolio data structures in Sakai as illustrated by three archetypal portfolio implementations for the purposes of personal representation, teaching and learning, and assessment and accreditation. The presenter will cite available documentation, delineate necessary technical skills, and provide detailed technical steps required for customizing basic portfolio tools. The overview will include information on how to customize data structures for use in the following basic OSP tools in Sakai 2.5: forms, matrices, wizards, goal management, and portfolio templates. Participants will gain enough knowledge to use available resources, including access to a sandbox environment of Sakai, to continue experimenting with OSP on their own.
