New installation instructions added http://code.google.com/p/eportfoliomanager/wiki/installation

The layout of the SVN has changed.

/branches/noldap is the recommended release as it is getting the most current updates.

svn checkout http://eportfoliomanager.googlecode.com/svn/branches/noldap eportfoliomanagernoldap-read-only

Most up to date release with all new features is the NOLDAP branch. This uses single-sign-on instead of LDAP (which was proving difficult for some folks to get working). See the installation wiki for SSO implementation details.

osaeris: I recommend this version to anyone who doesn't need LDAP

Roadmap:

IMS Import: The system now has IMS export but this hasn't been tested with any compliant import system yet. I think it would be better to program LEAP2 in and out rather than pursue the IMS route so that's what I intend to do.

Moodle Networking Authentication (still to be started) - I've put in an SSO facility in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php which means I doubt this will ever get done.

Create a new user status - non-editing lecturer

Add a CSV user import utility (Thanks to Steve at Perth UHI for the suggestion).

LEAP2A export is in progress and will be posted before too long !

Legacy releases:

/svn/trunk/

svn checkout http://eportfoliomanager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ eportfoliomanagerunstable-read-only

There are some new features since the 2007/8 version. The new TRUNK version has course grouping. This means you can list ePortfolios by course rather than just by lecturer. You can create groups from existing courses or for external candidates you can type your own course code when you create their ePortfolio.

Also newly added is the theme manager. This means a lecturer can install any of 70 themes for one or more students. Select your students by course code then choose the themes to install for the group.

The ePortfolios themselves have 2 new features. Lecturers can now lock an uploaded file on a student ePortfolio which prevents the file from being replaced or deleted. This facility is useful for locking assessments. Students do not see the lock feature. Also new is the CMIS link on the Dashboard screen. This gives lecturers only a handy link to the student viewer page for the current student if their institution has such a thing. You can switch on and off on the settings page.

The student ePortfolio can now be exported in IMS ePortfolio format or as a stand alone HTML site which is handy.

/branches/legacy/

LEGACY STABLE: If you check out the legacy stable version you can create and delete eportfolios individually or in groups if you have MIS integration on. Students all get a set of ILP posts and a basic eportfolio framework to work with. There are about 15 themes which are selectable by students. This version is no longer under development.

/branches/trunk-windows-compatibility/
WINDOWS COMPATIBILITY:
Temporary branch with several patches and documention aimed at extending platform support to the IIS/PHP/MySQL stack under Windows. STATUS: Incomplete

/branches/wordpress28

CUTTING EDGE: This version is moving towards using Wordpress 2.8 + as the default eportfolio. There's a fair way to go yet.
