<![CDATA[I had a meeting yesterday with teachers and ed teach staff at my university (Iceland University of Education) and I was trying to convince them to take up Elgg as a portfolio system next semester. I will definately use Elgg in my course, I already do (they had to test Elgg) but it would be more interesting if also the instructors who teach first year students would also use Elgg in their courses. Hopefully we will have 7 or 8 teachers to test Elgg. My university has the newerst version of WebCt and is looking into the forthcoming portfolio tool from WebCt but that will not be open source.

I have been trying out esnips.com and I very much like it, it is the kind of portfolio tool student need. My plan now for next semester in my course in to use Elgg and also have all students have folders for their stuff on esnips.com or similiar sites. you can create widget in esnips.com like this:
