Groups

For managing an assessment using MyPortfolio students should be allocated to a Group. This may be a single group for the whole cohort or a number of smaller groups.

These should be Controlled groups and should Allow Submissions. For more information see section 6.3.2. Create a group as staff member or institution administrator of the Mahara Manual.

By default all submitted pages and collections are locked for editing until released by the Tutor or Administrator.

Submission and Feedback

Students can submit portfolio pages and collections to their assigned Group. Instructions for how to submit pages and collections are given in the Mahara manual section 5.9.1. Submit a page or collection for assessment.

Once thye have submitted your pages and collections, they cannot make any changes to

  • files

  • journal entries

  • text boxes

  • notes

  • links to external content

They can still

  • edit plans

  • update profile information

  • change résumé information

  • add new journal entries to a journal

  • any external content on the source site, e.g. adding comments to a YouTube video, adding audio to a SlideShare presentation etc. or deleting the media.

If you have the role of Tutor or Administrator for a group that allows submissions you are able to comment on the submitted work.

In addition, you can see all submitted pages and collections with a time stamp on the group’s homepage. You will be able to see the following information:

  1. Title of the portfolio. This can be either a page or a collection.

  2. Owner of the portfolio. You can click the name in order to view the profile page.

  3. Time when the portfolio was submitted to this group.

You are able to provide feedback on an inidividual page or a collection, this is facilitated via comments. Details are provided in section 5.9.2. Instructor feedback of the Mahara manual.

Submitted pages and collections are effectively locked until relseased by a Tutor or Administrator. If you require students to submit a draft, and then the final portfolio. You will need to unlock the submitted pages to enable students to continue editing the relevant portfolio pages and collections.
