History
Mahara began in 2006 as a collaboration between Massey University, Auckland University of Technology, the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand and Victoria University of Wellington, funded by the New Zealand Tertiary Education Commission.[12] Mahara was initially developed by Catalyst IT Limited, a New Zealand open-source software company, and first released in April 2008.[1] Development of Mahara has since expanded to include a community of contributors, including the New Zealand Ministry of Education.[13]
The software was designed to be an open-source electronic portfolio platform to support the student learning and personal learning environment goals of educational institutions.[12] Mahara allows students to select their own work and prepare an online portfolio, to both share in a university classroom context and show to future employers.[14]
Language support
Mahara supports translation into different languages using language packs, and contributions of complete or near-complete coverage have been provided for Japanese, Basque, French, Māori, Slovenian, German, Czech, and Danish languages.[15]
