This workshop will introduce participants to the Open Source e-portfolio system called Mahara. We will discuss how Mahara can meet the needs of institutional/program assessment, in addition to the myriad of ways it can be used by students to support their own learning and working goals. Participants will create their own portfolios and explore the social networking components the system affords.
