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.

I am an English language teacher working in a Swiss university. I started life as an engineer, mechanical and electrical, before graduating in construction and law. I then moved to Switzerland and studied a master's degree in TESOL, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The focus was actually on TESP, Teachin English for Specific Purposes. Currently I am deaply involved in the development of our university's Moodle Platform, and I am researching the integration of Mahara into that platform. From October 2012, I shall start a Master of Advanced Studies in e-learning.
