[senit] digital portfolios

Moodle is definitely worth exploring and make sure

I did have a look at Moodle in terms of the free
download. It didn't seem very child friendly or
special needs friendly. Is there anywhere online I can
see something similar to an e-portfolio eg a demo in
moodle? the moodle website itself has a demo but it
didn't seem to work very well when I accessed it, and
didn't have many examples in the demo.

thanks
