Moodle, the beloved learning management system, allows for the integration with other tools to offer educators and learners even more flexibility in how they would like to teach and learn. Portfolios are a wonderful addition to Moodle because they put learners into the centre of the attention and allow them the freedom to decide how they want to document their learning and what of that learning and the associated reflections they want to share. Additionally, they support authentic learning tasks and foster transversal skills.
In this session, I will showcase the possibilities that integrating the portfolio platform Mahara with Moodle has for educators who wish to create authentic learning tasks and for learners who want a space of their own to reflect on their practice. I will highlight the benefits of having Moodle in the mix to create cohesive experiences for students and educators.
