Create portfolios

Using Mahara, students and staff create their personal learning stories by uploading evidence of activities they have participated in, and embedding publicly accessible content they have previously put online. They can write reflections on their experiences that frame this evidence, map it to competencies or registration requirements, and provide necessary context.

Mahara can be used for many different portfolio purposes, such as study, professional development, work-integrated learning, assessment, showcase and presentation, and employability.

Engage with others

Mahara makes it easy to comment and give feedback. Portfolios can also be submitted to learning management systems via LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) for marking.

Groups in Mahara allow people to create portfolios collaboratively and engage in forum discussions.

Not to worry, I figured it out with an array in the config file. Works really well.

Hi Heinz: I have followed the instructions about adding a language pack to Mahara, but it does not appear for me. It is possible to have 4 or 5 different languages on 1 Mahara as it is on Moodle? Paul

Nochmal einen schönen Dank für den Support am sonnigen Sonntag! Die Möglichkeiten, eine neue Lernkultur mit OSS wie moodle, mahara oder gleich "mahoolde" zu begleiten sind wirklich interessant. Grüße aus Warburg

Hi Heinz... this is a great place to explore the new functions! I love the new Online users Blog . Can we get the new version soon in our Mahara?
