Mahara Portfolio

Diese Seite ist noch nicht vollständig übersetzt.

According to the Mahara web site "Mahara is an open source e-portfolio, weblog, résumé builder and social networking system, connecting users and creating online learner communities. Mahara is designed to provide users with the tools to demonstrate their life-long learning, skills and development over time to selected audiences."

Mahara has close links with Moodle. There is a built in single sign on facility called Mahoodle.

Mahara can serve as a Portfolio into which users can "push" files they want to keep and it is hoped soon that it will also serve as a Repository from which users can "pull" files they need for their course. Both options need to be enabled by the administrator before they are available for teachers and students

Damit der Export nach Mahara funktioniert, müssen Sie zunächst eine Verbindung zwischen Moodle und Mahara herstellen. Detaillierte Informationen dazu finden Sie im Artikel Mahoodle.

• Melden Sie sich als Administrator/in an.
• Auf der Seite Einstellungen > Website-Administration > Plugins > Portfolios > Portfolios verwalten wählen Sie im Auswahlmenü von Mahara ePortfolio die Option Verfügbar und sichtbar.
• Auf der Seite Einstellungen > Website-Administration > Plugins > Portfolios > Mahara ePortfolio können Sie dem Portfolio einen Namen geben (das ist aber nicht zwingend notwendig).

Sending or "pushing" your files to Mahara

• You can export items such as assignments, chat and forum posts to enabled portfolios. Here is an example with a forum post:
• At the bottom of your completed forum post are the words "export to portfolio".

• Click the words "export to portfolio" and then select from the dropdown Mahara. (If it is the only portfolio enabled, it wil be the only choice!)

• Click "Next"
• Choose the export type you want. Mahara offers HTML or LEAP 2A format. Then click "Next" again.
• On the next screen, click "continue " to confirm your export.

• The "export complete" message will appear. Clicking "continue" will take you to Mahara.
