The InteLeC (Integrated eLearning Campus) project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research with a total of 2 Mio. EUR and runs from 01.05.2005 until 30.04.2008. InteLeC is part of the national program “new media in education”. The project specializes on the development of a new campus-wide conceptual and technical infrastructure supporting the further dissemination and a wide-spread use of eLearning and thus serving as an enabling platform for the University of Passau.
The e-portfolio part in this project comprises three major functions: a portfolio for collection, a learning diary for reflection, and a registration book for planning. Any information is secured by a multilevel permission framework which is controlled by the owner of the portfolio.
The portfolio function supports the collection and internal presentation of e-portfolio
items and envisions sharing of assets.
The learning diary serves for changing the profile, for keeping a diary in form of a blog or a web page, and for collaboration with fellow students and teachers. The registration book facilitates maintaining information related to the studied subject: finding information about the field of study or about the current term, receiving a list of appropriate lectures, getting a view on passed or failed exams including missing results. Moreover, the system will be able to recommend lectures to support the general term planning, and to synchronise with the succeeding term.
The first realization of the e-portfolio will be done in teacher education.
