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.

Is it possible to not store information in the cloud? Is there any alternative?

Thank you,

Sue

Hello Sue,

You can leave files in Google Drive and use them in Mahara via the "Google Apps" block. Or if your cloud storage allows to embed documents via an iframe, you can add them to the allowed list of iframes (Administration -> Extensions -> Allowed iframes). Gregor also developed a Cloud plugin https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Plugins/Artefact/Cloud which allows you to connect to a number of repositories.

Cheers

Kristina
