Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Confirmed
Bug description:
If you read Attwell and others who are advocating eportfolio use, you will find
that an eportfolio should belong to the students and that they should have
access to this throughout their lifetime. Being able to create specific views
for different purposes is critical to the success of this approach. Mahara is
on the right track in this regard, however, there needs to more flexibility in
terms of how those views can be shared.
My preference would be for instances of Mahara to be hosted by independent
companies/institutions that provide low cost accounts for anyone who wishes to
have an eportfolio. In this case the school/university/business could
subsidise this cost for the period of time the student/employee is with the
organisation, so there is an opportunity for the individual to keep and add to
their work when they leave.
To this end, I would like to see the capability of inviting audiences, by
email, to see a view of your portfolio by registering as free guest in the
Mahara instance. This way the need to provide public views and secret URLs
would be removed and a public view would then only be used for a wider audience
when the portfolio owner required this to happen.
By bringing people to Mahara in a guest capacity you expose more people to
Mahara and and keep the intimacy that is often required for specific
purposes--not everyone wants a particular view to be publicly available to
those not in the community.
Keep up the excellent work,
Scot.
