Sea Change: How digital transformation is shaping learning experiences with Mahara e-portfolios.

Mahara UK14 is a UK based conference dedicated to the leading open source e-portfolio software Mahara. This annual conference brings together educators, learning technologists and developers, who have an involvement with or an interest in Mahara and e-portfolios. It offers a valuable forum in which to explore both the technical development and pedagogic practice of Mahara, with the opportunity to network with colleagues, share ideas and discuss future developments.

The conference runs over 2 days, featuring a programme of keynote speakers, presentations, workshops and exhibitions designed to engage enhance and inform the use of Mahara in education and work-based learning.

This year the conference is kindly hosted by the University of Brighton.

This year, in keeping with the location, the conference has a seaside inspired title, drawing on the changes taking place in the delivery of education and in the use of technology, which is transforming the ways in which we learn, work, connect and interact.
