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.

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. thanx for that..video re-encoded and audio fixed.
