This paper describes the scaffolding e-Portfolio system developed by the research team of Distance Education Study Centre, Riga Technical University. This system differs from traditional e-Portfolio systems by utilizing a motivating approach in the acquiring of competencies, involvement in group-work, increasing responsibility for personal and peer achievements, and comparison of scores, study results, assessments and competency development levels during the whole course study period in two educational systems: university study portal "ORTUS" and e-Portfolio. The introduced e-Portfolio algorithmic model ensures the collection of data (marks and recommendations) from all assessments and opening them up for the appropriate e-Portfolio group members; consequently, students have an excellent possibility to improve their outcomes and develop required competencies. The study also shows correlations between learner activity levels within e-Portfolio and their learning outcomes.

In the new project JAUZI we build on our previous experience. We identified that insufficient learning support in traditional eLearning settings is the key obstacle to the broad deployment of eLearning and a cause for the high drop-out rate from these programs. As a remedy for this problem, we developed an algorithm to track user trajectories and to identify problem areas. Here, we present the analysis of the data we gathered and used to assign further user support provisions. The particular support provisions we designed were based on a multiple messaging system: SMSs to users, to teachers and also emails to users and teachers. The JAUZI support system is designed respond to potential critical actions in learners' behaviour and to quickly provide a remedy.
