We are thinking about implementing Mahara for our public school district.  Teachers would like to see some public views of "actual student portfolios".  Does anyone have URLs for examples?

Hi Richard,

about your question to make the portfolio i posted to Sharon public in te hbestpractice intro i am glad to give you a positive answer.

The guys give me the ok to publish it and here is another view which seems to be interesting because it uses a lot of linked views.

Please send me a notification if you publish the links to these views.

cheers

Thank you so much - that gives me something to show (and luckily I can read some German - having lived there for 10 years).

Hi Sharon,

the user has inserted a lot of links to show more "pages" of his portfolio. Feel free to show it to interested people.

cheers

Very nicely done - I had not even thought about linking Views together.

Thank you again.

We will be using Mahara via Moodle with a group of students and I was wondering -  public view - is that public to the whole world in all situations? In other words, might there not be a risk of students creating a public view with unsuitable (innocently or otherwise) information? And if so will I have a moderation issue here? I am not saying they will  but I'd like to investigate this possibility further.

Hi Mary,

public means public in WWW.The view is visible by every person in the in web. I think it's important to show the pupils this feature and to discuss with them the dangers.

You may use the secret URL feature in Mahara 1.1 to post a view to people not logged in;

here the attached online help:

Vielen Dank Heinz. This is as I thought - public IS public so they will have to be educated as such. I didn't know about the secret url and this will  be very useful to me
