This document describes a portfolio project to create a home-brewed software solution for portfolio management. It aims to develop a minimum burden, reliable, accessible, simple, and multimedia capable portfolio system that is assessment ready and less technical. The system started development in 2010 using Drupal, an open source content management system. It allows data entry for a variety of portfolio elements such as academic qualifications, employment details, logbook entries, research publications, reflections, teaching, and professional commitments. The document demonstrates the mobile data entry features and discusses future plans to add offline data entry, mobile apps, integrated point calculation, categorization, accreditation, and usage data collection.
