This document provides an overview of using Mahara as an e-portfolio tool. It defines an e-portfolio as a collection of digital artifacts created by the learner to demonstrate their experiences, achievements, and learning. Mahara allows users to integrate with their Moodle VLE, collect files from various sources, provide a social network for learning, and easily create webpages to showcase work. The process involves an initial creation and collection phase, followed by a design and sharing phase where users get feedback, and finally a phase to build a learning network and take control of their learning.
![Why use an e-portfolio?
• ‘An e-portfolio is a purposeful aggregation of digital
items – ideas, evidence, reflections, feedback etc,
which “presents” a selected audience with
evidence of a person’s learning and/or ability.’
