Mahara Community - Members - Mahara ePortfolio System

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.

Julian Ridden - Member

I am a passionate advocate of quality education, ongoing innovation and open source projects/communities, Open Education and Open Standards. Currently I work as the Product Strategy Manager for CanvasLMS.

I have worked in the education space for over a decade, specialising in delivery of education for both blended and pure online learning. There is no difference in the methodology of offline and online education. Just the tools change. I am a strong believer that we should always put pedagogy/adragogy first and then ensure we find the tools to best support it.

I work in an industry I love, where I get to educate, create and innovate. I am a strong believer in community and the importance of life long learning.
