I am interested in exploring Mahara and have login demo.
Writing my profile and export to my portfolio is nice.
But I would like to ask a basic question......

"Whey mahara has SNS like functions ?"

Is the "group" function basic feature for ePortfolio ?
Is it useful to make my portfolio (or cv) better quality ?

Thanks , Ebara

Hi - Mahara is a combination of e-portfolio and social networking system. Which is why it has features from both

The idea is that the social networking side encourages students to get involved with the system.

Hi Nigel-san and Hasmeeta Shukla-san,
