Mahara e-Portfolio

Mahara allows students to create personal online spaces to access services, store work, create journals, upload files, store resumes, embed social media resources from the web and collaborate with other users in groups and so much more (CLIPP-FedUni).

The use of portfolios for student learning and assessment has been a research area for over 35 years (Lambert & Corrin, 2007). One of the primary arguments for e-Portfolios is its ability to demonstrate authentic professional growth associated with practices and outcomes over time. Specifically in a learning context, e-Portfolio presents an opportunity for analysing growth through reflective practice and is in fact considered to represent the application of a "Framework for Illustrating and Evaluating Growth Through Reflective Practice" developed by Pitts and Ruggirello (2012). e-Portfolios should be seen as a holistic way in which students document their learning, understanding, and growth throughout their college experience (Ring & Ramirez, 2012).

Creating e-Portfolios as an evidence of learning is an active and dynamic method of demonstrating learning that includes a responsive and reflective reciprocal process. Lee and Pohio (2012)'s cyclical approach for developing e-Portfolios particularly reflects how e-Portfolios can be useful for reflective practice in teaching and learning.
