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.

Hi,
I have created DATABASE using cpanel by following Mahara installation guide.
When I was trying to connect database, it showed the following error message:

Mahara could not connect to the application database.

* If you are using Mahara, please wait a minute and try again
* If you are the administrator, please check your database settings and make
sure your database is available

The error received was:
mysqli error: [1044: Access denied for user 'xxxmaharadb'@'localhost' to
database 'mahara'] in CONNECT(localhost, 'xxxmaharadb', '****', mahara)

I contacted with my hosting provider. They said there's no database for Mahara.
I said that I already created. Please help. Many thanks.
