The aim of this article was to set up a virtual classroom for storing different documents created and often used during teacher’s work. For this purpose we created an e-portfolio Mahara which can be accessed via www.sio.si. E-portfolio contains several menus: performance evaluation (collection of evaluation sheets to evaluate public employee’s performance in observed period), annual interview preparation (files linked to annual interview with school’s management), and teacher’s work (past, current, and planned). The virtual classroom is shared by two teachers. Each of them accesses the virtual classroom with an individual user account and has administrator rights assigned by an individual group. Such cooperation enables us to share files, evaluate and plan teacher’s work, exchange ideas, and consequently build a social network. We plan to increase the extent of e-portfolio by adding new menus, while the teacher’s work field will be divided into several sub-menus since a comprehensive collection of documents has already been created within this field. By doing that we’ll improve the transparency and usability of this virtual classroom.
