Mahara e-portfolios
The Mahara e-Portfolio system can be used for:
- assessment purposes (evidencing, reflecting, synthesising, giving and receiving feedback)
- showcasing and evidencing an individual’s abilities (including to employers, professional bodies)
- planning and setting goals for personal and professional development.
This system values the process of learning as much as the end product and places the power firmly in the hands of the students.
Using Mahara
Mahara allows students to purposefully collect together digital ideas, evidence, reflections and resources (including text, images, web links and video). They can then display these in a number of different views and meaningfully connect with other users.
It includes blogs, a CV builder, and social networking functionality. It integrates well with Moodle and is a particularly useful tool for recording and reflecting on learning.
Mahara at the University
Mahara is currently being piloted by a number of user groups at the University of Bath.
