"A learning portfolio allows the learner to collect, select, reflect and present evidence of their learning journey over time--be it electronic or otherwise--which can be used for development, presentation and/or assessment"

Mahara can help you demonstrate your learner journey via a variety of different tools:

  • Journal to capture reflections and experiences during or shortly after an event
  • Files area to store documents and artefacts
  • CV area to record academic and CPD courses, goals and achievements
  • Plans to set-out and manage your journey

These are all private to you, however you can display a selection of these elements via a page.
