Mahara
E-portfolio system for learners and educators
About Mahara
Mahara is an e-portfolio system where learners collect evidence of learning, reflect in journals, and share pages with assessors. It runs on your own server or home hardware, so your data stays under your control instead of depending on a third-party cloud service. Users who outgrow a hosted free tier often choose it to remove limits while keeping the same familiar workflow they already know.
