Steep initial learning curve Structured format
expectations
Vodcast to aid set up
Demonstration site
provided
Import/Export to LEAP2A Seen as “for geeks only” “Portable app” version of
Mahara provided
Journal can be shared as
RSS
Once-in-a-blue-moon set up
needs support
Vodcast to aid set up
Tutors use Firefox plugin or
theoldreader
Use in schools Does not seem to be used
as much as it might be
Provide “portable app” set
up to introduce to schools
Provides “walled garden” Seen as a uni-only tool
without export option
Provide information about
LEAP2A, “portable app”
Maharadroid works really No iOS equivalent Promoted; demonstrate
