DESCRIPTION

Eportfolios offer an excellent way for learners to manage and demonstrate their learning, however, they are not always the natural first choice e-learning tool for a lot of educators. This means introducing eportfolio systems like Mahara can be quite alien to a lot of educators. It requires careful planning and support to ensure educators can confidently and successfully incorporate Mahara into their teaching and assessment program. This presentation explains what you should consider when introducing Mahara to educators.
