“The
aim
of
the
project
is
to
develop
an
ePortfolio
application
for
use
in

the
New
Zealand
tertiary
sector,
and
to
provide
guidelines
for
its
effective

use.
Such
an
application
would
be
cross-‐disciplinary
in
its
application,

flexible
enough
to
be
used
for
different
purposes,
including
peer
and

instructor
feedback
on
student
work,
providing
accessible
evidence
of

students’
progress
towards
graduate
outcomes,
capturing
digital
artifacts

and
student
reflection,
and
generating
multiple
presentations
by
students

for
various
publics
(in
the
form
of
digital
CVs
that
include
actual
examples

of
student
work).
It
is
intended
that
the
outcome
of
the
project
be
made

available
as
an
open
source
application
and
be
accompanied
with
tested

guidelines
for
implementation.”

“One

“If
all
you're
doing
is
blogging
then
Mahara
may
be
overkill
-‐
in

which
case
Wordpress
is
an
excellent
choice…
Whether
you
host

this
internally
or
on
wordpress.com,
students
can
also
easily

export
all
their
content
elsewhere.
The
Wordpress
app
works
very

well
on

as
well.”
Young

Can

“We
carried
out
a
trial
on
using
Mahara…
One
of
the
issues
which

arose
was
the
inability
to
continue
using
Mahara
once
students

graduated
and
where
they
could
then
export
the
portfolio…
A
case

study
from
the
Evernote
trial
is

written…”
