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.

In June 2010 I joined Catalyst as E-Learning Specialist supporting the E-Learning team in their endeavours. I am excited about this change from having worked at the University of Luxembourg before starting to implement Mahara to working more closely on Mahara and Moodle now.

On Twitter I am @anitsirk.

In general, I like taking photos and hiking.

Kia ora, hi, servus! I just rejoined the Mahara team in 2025 working remotely from Munich, Germany.

I was the initial committer on the project in 2006 but left in 2009 to explore, travel, have kids, work in politics and generally do different things with my life. I'm stoked to have come back to my roots to help expand Mahara use in Germany and beyond :)

In my non work life I hang out with my two girls, ride my bike, do CrossFit as much as I can, read anything and everything I can get my hands on and sometimes crochet.

I'm a former member of the Mahara team at Catalyst IT, in Wellington, New Zealand. I still check in on Mahara from time to time.

I'm originally from the US, so I tend to switch back and forth between NZ and US spellings. :)
