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.

Hi Guys

We are new to Mahara we have set up our own Mahara server onsite and have it running no worries.

We have a problem at the moment where the students log on and they can see the Teachers/Principal wall's and also can access dilog between Teachers, etc.

Is there anyway to limit this to students? I looked through the admin settings I could not see any thing to prevent this?

I think currently the wall and everything on the profile pages is visible to all logged-in users.

As a workaround, the teachers (or anyone) who would like to hold a private dialogue in Mahara could create an invite-only group and use the forums there, which will only be visible to group members.
