Create teaching-learning content as a portfolio with Mahara
Mahara is a software for creating and managing e-portfolios in an online community. E-portfolios use new media to implement the old concept of portfolios. E-portfolios are network-based collection portfolios that integrate various digital media and services. Students create and maintain an e-portfolio as a digital repository of the various materials and media they have created during a course or throughout their studies, as well as for self-presentation. Students can use the e-portfolio to demonstrate competences and reflect on their learning process. The materials created can be used as examination results.
