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.

What is the meaning of 'Support administrator' ? I'm just working on the German translation again.

Hi Ralf,

The institution support admin role is a new role that is going to be available in Mahara 22.04. It allows someone to masquerade as a regular institution member or staff but not as institution administrator. It also doesn't allow them to change institution settings. So it's like a staff member with the power to masquerade, giving you more flexibility in regards to who to give certain support permissions, e.g. in particular for first level hotline support without giving them access to the entirety of the institution admin area.

Cheers

Kristina
