'Virtually none of them allow for cross referencing artifacts. Instructors who are evaluating the portfolios do them by student, not by outcome. I was always astonished that so little had been done with the database capabilities behind the portfolios--no searching, no querying, no sorting.
Many of them are not very accessible for the disabled or impaired.'
I arrived there while I was tring to find out why our Moodle keeps disappearing. Still no answer to that one I'm afraid.

Your comments are very valid. I have been looking into a number of e-portfolios and they seem tohave come into existance through different routes without taking a holistic view of the needs of everyone wanting to use the system.
There are some excellent for learners, some brilliant for educators and other for external verifiers. Not one seems to cover all bases.
I am just testing Moodle at the moment, so I am bit frightened about your disappearing experience, please keep me informed on what you find.
good luck
Is our Moodle space suddenly vanishing, Anne? I have had no problems with it the last few days, so perhaps this is a local server issue; never heard this complaint from other Moodle managers before! Did you try to ask for relevant help in the Moodle developer community yet?
