Export Moodle Work with Portfolios

Portfolios in Moodle make it easy for a student to export their work to an external portfolio. Student work might include forum posts, assignment submissions, etc.

Items which may be exported to portfolio

• Assignment submissions
• Chat sessions
• Database activity module entries (##export## tag may be added to list and single templates)
• Database activities
• Forum posts
• Glossary entries

Exporting to portfolio

When portfolios are enabled, forum posts and other exportable items have an Export to portfolio icon or link beside them.

To export an assignment to a portfolio:


1. Navigate to a specfic assignment
2. From the bottom right of an assignments page, select Export to portfolio








3. Select the destination you wish to export to: File download or Google Drive (this step will be skipped if there's only one)








4. If prompted, select an export format e.g., HTML
5. If file download was selected in step 3, you can then save the file, otherwise you will be given the option to return to the page you were previously viewing or visit your portfolio (certain portfolios only)

Managing your own portfolios
While the administrator determines which portfolios are enabled on the site in Managing portfolios, an individual user can choose which portfolios to display or hide from the preferences page of the user menu top right, in the section "Portfolios."
