[edit] Assessment Portfolio Aggregator
We are currently working on building an integration with our student record system. This is most likely not affecting Elgg, but changing our SRS to provide feeds of new assets that can then be pulled into Elgg via RSS or so.
This is an essential functionality for us as we try to develop Elgg into an aggregator for e-portfolio stuff. The authoritative data from the SRS (transcripts, diploma supplements, exam results) can then be used by students in their presentations.
The challenge is avoiding fraud, and we talked about digital signatures, but will initially go with a simpler solution of adding a watermark or statement saying that the original can be checked at URL. If anyone has suggestions, we are grateful.
