What is Mahara?
Tabor offers Mahara as a digital portfolio tool for students and
alumni. An ePortfolio is a system in which students collate
evidence of their lifelong learning. These can include journals,
resumes, cover letters, essays/reports, artwork/images,
certificates, videos etc. e-Portfolios rely on digital
media to make them engaging. Utilising the features and
functions of Mahara in interesting and creative ways will go a
long way towards your audience engaging with it.
At Tabor, Mahara is also used at times as a alternative method of
delivering the student's assessment.
