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.

Has anyone attempted an integration with Joomla (or know of anyone who is).

I am thinking of integration in terms of any bridge to allow single user login i.e. login in Joomla and be logged in Mahara.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

I don't know of any Joomla integration projects, but a good starting point to look at for what you're doing might be MNET which is the protocol that Moodle and Mahara use to talk to eachother. It uses an encrypted xmlrpc system, and provides the SSO from Moodle to Mahara, and file transfer in the upcoming Moodle 2.0 release.

There's a standalone MNET php library which you can get from http://git.catalyst.net.nz/git/mnet.git/ (using git)
