Mahara ePortfolios

This morning I worked with the Creative Media students to help them to create views of their Mahara portfolios, in order to submit for assessment and moderation. Each student has created six folders for each area of the qualification in their portfolio, and the tutor and I decided to get them all to create the same view (as a sort of 'template' view) so that when he marks the work it will all be in the same format. We used the 'Display a folder' option for the views so that it generally fits on one screen and then if a student uploads any additional content, they do not need to change the view as it will automatically update, even if it has been submitted to the tutor.

This is an example of one of the views. The students will now generate secret URLS in Mahara, so that when the tutor is ready to submit the views to the awarding body as evidence, he will simply provide a list of URLs and the examiners will be able to view all of the portfolios.
