Mahara and Moodle: A match made for learners - 11 February 2025, 02:00 UTC
In this webinar, we will be joined by Kristina Hoeppner, the Mahara Project Lead at Catalyst IT. Moodle allows for the integration with other tools such as Mahara to offer educators and learners even more flexibility in how they would like to 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. Join this webinar to receive a number of resources to help you either start your Mahara portfolio journey or review your existing implementation. Register for the webinar.
