Mahara

Well I think this can be a useful program over time as it becomes your professional portfolio, it stores all your information for any future employer. This is what I learn't and we call this Life-Long learning. This program works together with Moodle.

With Mahara, the users can share all their views or they may only want to share some of their views, it is totally up to the user. They can share different views with different groups formed. This is a great little tool, especially when working on different topics and groups. Mahara is a great example for Relate, Create, Donate. (Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1999).

Below is a short clip to help explain Mahara for first time users:-
