About Exabis ePortfolio:


Start ePortfolio work with Moodle – a compact block with everything needed to collect, select, reflect, and share.

Exabis ePortfolio redefines the learning experience by placing learners at the centre of their educational journey. This Moodle plugin empowers students to create, collect, and share their learning artefacts in the form of digital portfolios. It offers a learner-driven approach to acquiring new competencies by enabling learners to create and share their artefacts as part of the learning process.


Key Features:

Individualized Portfolio Structure
Build ePortfolios with a structure tailored to your individual preferences and learning objectives.

Competence Mapping
Link your ePortfolio artefacts to specific competencies, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of your learning journey.

Selective Publishing
Publish views of your portfolio with a selection of materials, allowing you to curate and share your work with precision. Collect materials and artefacts created as part of collaboration and co-creation with others.

Export to Europass
Export your ePortfolio content to Europass format, making it easy to showcase your accomplishments and skills on your CV.

Integration of OpenBadges
Seamlessly integrate OpenBadges to recognize and showcase your achievements within your ePortfolios.

Cross-Platform Use
Save ePortfolios as SCORM packages for cross-platform compatibility, extending the reach and usability of your learning materials.


Exabis ePortfolio can be effortlessly integrated into your existing Moodle installation, allowing for course-independent operation.


How it Works:

Students can easily collect web links, files, and notes, organizing them into self-defined categories. They have the flexibility to choose whether to publish all or select parts of their collected learning materials, making it possible to share their work with the entire community or a specific group of users. This sharing feature enables peer and teacher assessment, fostering collaboration and reflection.

ePortfolios can be saved as SCORM packages, ensuring compatibility across different platforms. The built-in CV functionality streamlines the process of exporting to Europass format, enhancing your professional profile.


Exabis ePortfolio is a pivotal component of the Exabis Suite, a 100% open-source suite that seamlessly combines Exabis Competencies, ePortfolio, and Student Review modules. This suite offers adaptive learning scenarios that can be guided by trainers, self-paced, reflective, and personalized, enhancing the learning experience for all users. The modules can be used independently or as part of the suite, providing maximum flexibility and customization options for educators and learners.

    I am reporting the same error as kanji and Ana, and I think I may have a temporary solution.

    The error is being thrown due to php 5.4: "As of PHP 5.4 string offsets have to either be integers or integer-like strings, otherwise a warning will be thrown. Previously an offset like "foo" was silently cast to 0."

    Change line 92 from this

    echo $OUTPUT->box(get_string("descriptionsaved", "block_exaport"), 'center', '40%', '#ccffbb');

    to this

    echo $OUTPUT->box(get_string("descriptionsaved", "block_exaport"), 'center');

    And the error is no longer thrown.

    I think it has something to do with the box() function in lib/outputrenderers.php

    We have this installed on Moodle 2.5.4 and are experiencing an error message when viewing a 'View':

    Notice: Undefined variable: has_competences in /var/www/moodle/blocks/exaport/shared_view.php on line 181 Call Stack: 0.0000 646176 1. {main}() /var/www/moodle/blocks/exaport/shared_view.php:0

    Initially we thought it's because we don't have the competencies block installed and therefore had the setting for the competencies set up incorrect, but ticking or unticking this option in the block settings page has no impact.

    Any ideas?

    Hello Chris, problem should be solved - can you give it another try? Andreas

    Are there any plans to update this plugin to be compatible with Moodle versions higher than 2.5? I've got 2.7 up in a test environment and was able to install the plugin, but some pages needed some SQL query tweaking to work, and the Items content block does not insert properly when creating a view (the lightbox containing the options never appears but the screen darkens and becomes inaccessible like it has). Otherwise, this looks to be a great e-portfolio option!

    we have checked into the matter - it is related to logging in Moodle which is being reworked totally at the moment. we will rework our module soon to update this - for now it is possible to use the module - the problem only exists with the admin account, regards andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    I have the same problem like Georgi Samaras - there is no access for creating a view even if i log in as a student without any admin rights. As a result of any action a lightbox overlays the site.
    Our Moodle is 2.6.3
    Kind regards, Helga

    Estimado tengo el siguiente error al querer compartir el portafolio:

    Could not load preference popup_provider_block_exaport_sharing_permitted. Make sure the component and name you supplied to message_send() are valid.

    hello helga, please send a screenshot - did you take this version of exabis eportolio?: https://github.com/gtn/exaport/archive/experimental.zip - regards Andreas

    The 2.7 version looks great! However, I am experiencing the lightbox issue with the "Items" portion of view creation on both the official release and the experimental version on github. I have a screenshot but am not sure how to send it. Basically, when adding "Items" to a view, the lightbox overlay darkens the screen and then nothing else happens. For me, this only happens with "Items". I can add Personal Items, Headertext, etc. with no problems.

    We are experimenting with the possibility of using exabis e-portfolio in a large installation of course in Indonesia for School Principal's Professional development. We will have courses with potentially large numbers of students (several thousand). We will organize learners into groups for interactive elements such as Forums etc. We cant see how a portfolio or file in a portfolio can be shared to a group. We can see external and internal sharing options, and in the internal option individual users in a course can be selected (or all by select all) but we can't see how we can restrict this to a students' group , or link a portfolio to a group. Additionally it would be good if we had a quick or automated way to allocate specific users such as the students tutor and supervisor.

    Hello Greg, we will look into the group connection, regarding the quick automated allocation - we have already done that in the experimental track on git - views can be automatically published to teachers of a course, regards Andreas

    I'm using exabis v2.7-r1 (2014121900) (the version.php omits the main version 4.2) with Moodle v. 2.7, and it seems to be working fine mostly. But the SCORM-Export option shows a blank page and I get parsing errors in the logfile:
    apache2: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /srv/moodle/blocks/exaport/export_scorm.php on line 167

    It looks like the third operand for the ternary operator is missing in this line.

    Regards,
    David
