In this recipe, we work with Box.net, the portfolio that we have just enabled in the previous recipe. Therefore, as we have already worked in previous recipes with other portfolios, we will focus on this one in this task.
We can open our default web browser and log in to our account in order to see how the export to this portfolio works. Therefore, enter http://www.box.net/ and log in to your account, the one that we have created before.
First of all, we need to select what files we want to export to Box.net. Therefore, enter a Moodle course and choose a Forum activity that students have worked in. These are the steps to follow:
- Enter any Moodle course and click on a Forum activity.
- Click on the name of the discussion topic.
- Click on the downwards arrow and select Box.net internet storage, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click on Save.
- Tick the Share this file? and Share this new folder? blocks (shown in the screenshot after step 6).
- Click on the downwards arrow and choose Moodle portfolios (shared), as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click on Next.
- The following information appears, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click on Continue.
- The portfolio export is complete. You can Return to where you where or Continue to your portfolio.
We have just successfully exported our portfolio, but we have not seen it. Thus, if we click on Continue to your portfolio, we can see that we have just saved our file in Box.net. Therefore, the Forum discussion appears, as shown in the following screenshot:
Note that next to updates, 1NEW appears. It means that there is the file that we have just exported from our Moodle course. Click on the file to see what students have written in said Forum activity.
