No speech just music in the audio of that video
How does Mahara stack up against using existing standard Moodle activities for portfolio work?

thanx for that..video re-encoded and audio fixed.
Issues with portfolios inside moodle is that, at lest from a K-12 perspective, we normally erase student data to prepare fro the next year. Having an external system means that although the moodle is renewed every year, the portfolio content remains intact over the 5-8 years the student is with us.
Also the idea of a portfolio is to take resources further than just assessment. This allows for reflection and peer review. Lastly Mahara also provides tools not yet covered (wait til part 2) is CV creation and blogging.

We ran into an issue when we upgraded Moodle versions - Mahara versions didn’t keep up as quickly. We also did some usability testing and found that the user creation process what a bit tedious. We ended up dropping Mahara and doing a refined Moodle installation based on what http://www.georgetownprofessor.net/gportfolio/ did.
I still think Mahara has potential - we just weren’t there yet.

How do you think this will stack up against MyStuff, the OU’s E-Portfolio offering for Moodle???

I was wondering if a combination of Mahara and Moodle would be a good solution for an e-portfolio plus the course content to help the students maintain their site.
