    Folioz IconFolioz

    Folioz is a digital personal learning portfolio aka ePortfolio. It is the perfect personal learning environment mixed with social networking, enabling students to collect, reflect on and share their achievements and development online in a space they control.

    Folioz is a SSHRC funded research platform and is powered by Mahara. Mahara is provided freely as open source software (under the GNU General Public License).

    What makes Folioz different from other ePortfolio systems is that you control which items and what information (Artefacts) within your portfolio other users see.

    In order to facilitate this access control, all Artefacts you wish to show to other users need to be bundled up and placed into one area. Within Folioz this compilation of selected Artefacts is called a View.

    You can have as many Views as you like, each with a different collection of Artefacts, and intended purpose and audience. Your audience, or the people you wish to give access to your View, can be added as individuals or as a member of a Group or Community.

    ePortfolio owners create Views using a 4 step process and Views have the following features:

    • ePortfolio owners can receive public or private feedback on their View and Artefacts within that View.
    • Users accessing a View can report any objectionable material directly to the Site Administrator.
    • Users can add Views and Artefacts within a View to their Watchlist and receive automated notifications of any changes or updates.
    • ePortfolio owners can Submit a View for Assessment by a tutor or teacher allowing for a snapshot of the View and associated Artefacts on a certain date.

    Other Features of Folioz:

    File Repository

    Folioz includes a file repository which allows users to:

    • Create folder and sub folders structures
    • Upload multiple files quickly and efficiently
    • Give each file a Name and Description
    • Manage their file allocation Quota
    • When uploading a file users must agree to a configurable Copyright disclaimer.
    • Can extract .zip, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 from within the files area

  • PHP Tutorial for Beginners - Full Course
    Learn the fundamentals of PHP and object-oriented programming in this free 7-hour PHP tutorial. Jeremy McPeak will help you learn PHP and use it to write web apps. PHP is one of the most used languages on the web. The vast majority of websites you visit are built with PHP on the back-end, and learning PHP is a requirement for writing plugins or themes for a CMS like WordPress. PHP is fast, but even better, it's easy to learn and easy to use for writing web applications. In this detailed PHP tutorial, Envato Tuts+ instructor Jeremy McPeak will teach you the fundamentals of PHP programming. You'll start with the basics, learning how PHP works and writing simple PHP loops and functions. Then you'll build up to coding classes for simple object-oriented programming (OOP). Along the way, you'll learn all the most important skills for writing apps for the web: you'll get a chance to practice responding to GET and POST requests, parsing JSON, authenticating users, and using a MySQL database.
