Students can receive formative feedback of their e-portfolio work in a variety of ways.
Reviewing student e-portfolio work
Students can receive feedback comments on their work in a variety of ways.
- A student can share their e-portfolio work with individuals (tutors or peers).
- A student can share their e-portfolio with a group (see the group guidance).
- A student can share their e-portfolio with people external to the University – and without an account in Mahara (e.g. employers, examiners or guests).
Once shared, the work becomes available to be viewed and commented on.
How does a student share their work?
Students can share their work from the Portfolios page, by finding the padlock icon corresponding to the collection/page they want to share and then selecting Manage access. Then, go to the section Share with others > advanced options.
- Select from the drop-down menu one of the options according to the guidance given by your tutor (you can share with a person or a group).
- Search the name of the person/group and select it.
- Leave the role drop-down empty, this is not needed.
- Finally click on Save.
- For more guidance visit Mahara Manual: Shared by me.
How does a tutor, peer or other person add a feedback comment?
- To add a feedback comment to the page, add text to the *Add comment box on a given page.
- You can also upload a file by clicking Browse.
- You can add multiple files by clicking Add attachment for each new one.
