Selecting LMS (Learning Management System) for education is not an easy task. But once it is chosen it is hard to switch to another LMS. In some cases market available LSM are not suitable for specific tasks. Designing entirely new LMS is often too expensive. Designing software module for existing LMS is much more favorable though. Luckily open source LMS provide good insight for software module development. But designing an extension module is not an easy task because we are not to change the LMS. None of open source LMS covers a highly important topic in teachers' education - teacher training. Teacher training consist of observation, analysis and lecture training. It involves students, didactics specialists and training mentors. We have solved them with students 'trainings' e-portfolio module. Pilot project to develop and test the idea in practice is coming to the end and in the article we present requirement analysis, software solution, users' comments and operational analysis. The process of development was discussed with our computer science students who need to study software development. We were able to show them all steps in the software development from requirement analysis to the implementation up to the final analysis. Feedback in their increased knowledge and clarity of the software development process is fantastic. All the "broken peaces of knowledge" come together at last they say.
