Introducing mahara
The document discusses how the learning management system Moodle is course-centric and teacher-driven, focusing on activities and assessments with organizational ownership of content. In contrast, Mahara is described as being individual-centric and individually-driven, allowing for personal collection and reflection, individual ownership of work, creation of an ePortfolio, resume building, external sharing, social networking, and group collaboration outside of a formal course structure. Integrating Moodle with Mahara can help address limitations in Moodle by allowing students to access a social network and preserve their work after a course ends.
