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.

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.

Hi Jon,

It's not possible to force certain elements on students that they can't remove from their portfolio. That would be a customization for your site. What is possible in Mahara 18.10, is to make the removing of all blocks from a page more difficult to prevent accidental deletion. You can turn on "Lock blocks" in the page settings under "Advanced" in the template and also on any other page. Students can overwrite this setting in their own portfolios, but it's a good feature for those that don't go exploring to make all sorts of changes.

Cheers

Kristina
