About Mahara
Portfolios for your learning community. Using Mahara, students and staff create their personal learning stories by uploading evidence of activities they have participated in, and embedding publicly accessible content they have previously put online. They can write reflections on their experiences that frame this evidence, map it to competencies or registration requirements, and provide necessary context. Mahara can be used for many different portfolio purposes, such as study, professional development, work-integrated learning, assessment, showcase and presentation, and employability. Mahara allows portfolios to be shared flexibly with one person, a specific group of people, or the entire world. Access can be further restricted to a particular time frame or just within an assessment task. Mahara makes it easy to comment and give feedback. Portfolios can also be submitted to learning management systems via LTI for marking.

Anthology Portfolio
With Anthology Portfolio, learners can capture, review, and showcase their growth both inside and outside of the classroom, while educators and administrators use these same inputs and supporting data to inform course improvement and streamline program accreditation processes. Easy to organize and customize, they can document videos, written assignments, assessments, and more, building a polished collection of work far more impactful than a diploma or GPA — giving them a competitive advantage as they join the workforce or continue their studies in graduate school and beyond. Anthology Portfolio streamlines the management and assessment of experiential learning placements, saving time for administrators and improving the experience for learners.
