This block can easily be added to a Moodle installation and provides ePortfolio functionality for each student and teacher course independently.
Students can build up their ePortfolios collecting weblinks, files and notes within individually defined categories. ePortfolio-artefacts can be published to specific target-groups using views to start reflection and assessments.
ePortfolios can be saved as a SCORM-package and can be used cross-platform for further work. Also the CV-functionality allows export to the Europass format.
Exabis ePortfolio is part of a suite of three main modules: Exabis ePortfolio (portfolio work), Exabis Competencies - Competence grids (connecting artefacts to competences and individualization paths using digital competence grids) and Exabis student review (course spanning reporting tool of students’ achievements including assessment of soft skills).
The module can be used standalone or as part of this suite. Advantage of using all three modules together is that learner driven learning paths can be established – these are teacher guided, self-paced, competence-based and individualized.
The free app DAKORA (working with digital competence grids) which was developed together with the Federal Ministry of Education in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, allows work with all three modules with an innovative interface for tablets and smartphones which can be downloaded from all app stores.

Thank you for your response. Is there a documentation for this process or an additional plugin I need to install? I am my managing my own server, but need to figure out where this folder should be exactly located or activated.
Thanks again.
The only two things I can't find now:
- how to add an "Export to portfolio" button to discussion forums.
- Import from Moodle-assignments. (This option exists, but shows only a blank list of assignments despite submitting some already)..
I see both "exacomp" and "exacaport" folders and associated files under the Moodle Blocks main folder. Is there a sub-folder I need to manually upload or a permission to edit?
if i share a view with the optione "external link" and i use this link, then i will be forwarded to the moodle login.
I would expect, that sharing this way does not need a login.
Is this behavoiur as it should or is that an error?
Greetings

I guess that triggered the import feature to work.. Just to confirm, is it required to install this module as well for Exabis to work in that case?? I will still need to repeat the process in a production server and need to confirm this point..
Thanks for your help.
I tried right now for Moodle 3.4 and 3.5
- last version of Exaport from experimental branch
- copied the directory /portfolio_plugin/exaport to MOODLE/portfolio/
- activated it as admin user
thats all, it worked
Regarding the export from forum discussions - this function has not been implemented yet, we have only done this for submitted assignements.
Regards
Andreas
Thank you so much for confirming this. I will give it a try on our production server and let you know.
Kind regards,
Ismail
It worked well this time. Two important findings to share:
When you copy the folder, it should go under: Moodle/portfolio/portfolio_plugin/exaport
Second, make sure students have an "uploaded" assignment file for the import assignment to work. I kept getting blank list several times before realizing they students need to upload a file, not just submit an assignment, to get it to work.
The teachers can add the Block, but it's not visible on the page. I can see it as Admin, but when I LogInAs (which is enabled on the plugin settings) I can't see it either.
We've done the folder copying as suggested above but no change.
Moodle 3.8.2+ (Build: 20200312) Version 2019111802.01

I would say, your plugin could check for the proper directory installation and if is empty, write the files automatically. Better yet just create a new empty plugin, as it does do a Moodle upgrade installation but has no information -- very confusing for administrators.
Understandably as you guys are still developing, but thought I'd leave you some feedback. Cheers and thanks!
