Platypus ePortfolios is a support to school staff and students.  It is based on the popular Locknkey Digital Library and automatically provides an area for every child in school as determinied by your Active Directories or your school Administration System. 
So... no setup.

ePortfolios store any digital information; documents, images, powerpoint presentations, animations, videos, scans, photos, web links or whatever.

ePortfolios also stores templates that systems, schools or individual teachers can define which student fill in over time. These forms can be used to capture evidence of learning and verification as required by many assessment organisations.

New features

SAN support
The ePortfolio store can be placed anywhere on your system rather than with your web server.

Security
While ePortfolio provides links to resources like student work these links are to services that channel the data to your browser.   These services can check user credentials before providing access.  This gives you maximum security and allows you to open your ePortfolio to outside world.
 

Full versioning
Whether storing individual docoments or student template responses every save can be archived such that you can wind backwards and forwards through versions.  Within Templates you can even wind backwords and forwards through versions of answers to individual sections.

Deployment
While each student has the ability to start a template when they are ready, this can result in messy lessons were the teacher attempts to ensure all student shave loaded the correct template.  Some schools have a vaste array of templates for each level. Platypus ePortfolios now has a deployment module such that templates nominated for specific year levels are automatically placed in the students area as soon as the student opens it. Deployment sets can be added to or subtracted from at any point.  Started work is always protected.
