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.

Embedding wmv files problem

When using the embedded media block in a view, wmv files do not appear as an option when using v1.1.1 of Mahara .

The plugin for wmv file types is enabled so assume that wmv files are still supported for embedding in this version.

The file does play when opened from the files section but not when clicking the link to it in the view.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I think this might be related to a bunch of work we did before 1.1 where we changed how files were detected.. the internalmedia block has been a bit broken ever since. There's a bug or two filed about it, that I hope we can get around to fixing before 1.2.
