Today I’m having a go at installing the OSPI ePortfolio system (http://www.osportfolio.org), as we need to have an ePortfolio system set up to link to with the Learning Design Player. We need an ePortfolio system which has either a java or webserivces API to it,and it appears that OSPI does, however the documentation on this area seems quite ‘slim’, so I’m not going to know for sure that it is suitable for us until I get it installed and have had a play. The other problem I’m going to have with OSPI is that I don’t know very much about ePortfolio, OSPI appears to have a lot of features and I’ll need to try and get my head around it all. However I think in terms of this projet we do not have to cover every possibile function, we just need to show with a couple of functions that it is possible to link up and demonstrate how it could be done – leaving the hard work of full integration either to someone else (!) or the next project!
