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.

Watchlist sending Multiple emails

Hi,

I have recently had to turn off Watchlist notifications on our site as it was spamming users with updates to pages at all hours of the day even when it appears no updates have been made to watchlisted pages. Would anybody know why this is happening and anyway to stop this and keep the functionality useable?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

The watchlist notifications sent out are based on what is in the 'watchlist_queue' database table.

Can you confirm that when the emails are sent out that the rows are removed from the table?

Also if you just view a page does it create a row in the watchlist_queue table? It shouldn't but could explain the behaviour you are seeing.

Hope that helps

Robert
