Showing Calendar in Portfolio

1 Description

In some kinds of portfolios learners want to plan their personal development and learning-process. Therefore they would like to show some dates and milestones in their portfolio. In mahara, this kind of planing is realized as the feature "Plans". Using the ILIAS-Calendar for which has much more options than the "Plans"-feature would help to manage and display learning-progress.
Perhaps it might be possible to:

• Select personal or group calenders which should be displayed in the portfolio
• Select entrys of calendars to be displayed in the portfolio

The Dates in the Portfolio-View should always show if the task / date have been fullfilled.
 
It should also be possible to integrate a calender that displays my consultation hours for the students. So the booking of an consultation hour would be much easier for students. This could also help to connect mentoring/guidance in the studies and portfolio-work, e.g. in some projects mentors are asked to support students by having a regular look in their portfolio and talk about their success and further steps in the consultation hours.

JF 18 Feb 2013: We need to clarify the requirements related to the presentation of these different calendars in the portfolio (event list, month overview, ...). @Timo, Klaus: Could you try to provide some mock-up screens and mahara screenshots? How much functionality needs to be available? We need to take into consideration that portfolios always need a sound export to (static) HTML in the exercise scenario as well.
