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,

We use a SAML login for our mahara (integrated in Moodle). Can we use the Mahara app? I'm currently not able to log in, maybe I need to make an adjusment first?

Hi Emelie,

You can use Mahara Mobile with SAML login. When you enter the URL for your Mahara site, you should be presented with the option to log in via SAML. You are then forwarded to the login screen for your authentication method and can enter your details, and you are then taken back to Mahara Mobile.

If that doesn't work, please provide the URL to your Mahara site so we can check if there is something obvious that we can see.

Thank you

Kristina
