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.

Welcome!

Since June 2010 I have been working at Catalyst IT, the maintainer of the Mahara project and a major development company for Mahara. I am one of the non-developers on the project and am involved in the following community activities:

answering questions in the community forums, on the bug and feature tracker and elsewhere
asking questions on how to make Mahara better
writing the user manual
editing the quarterly newsletter
supporting Mahara User Groups organizers
spreading the word about Mahara

The core Mahara team at Catalyst also supports clients around the world with custom development, hosting and maintaining Mahara instances, as well as development work that is contributed back to the core project.
