In medical education, e-portfolios are needed both for supporting students’ self-learning and for quality assurance of education based on the global standards. Although there are some e-portfolio systems, it is sometimes complicated to use both learning management systems and e-portfolios. In this study, a Moodle-based e-portfolio with database module are proposed for the minimal portfolio use in medical education. Although it has a limited feature compared to the e-portfolios as commonly used, the advantages of the system are that it is unified and easy to use, and that data can be exported easily.
