Use social networking tools

Mahara recognises that learning is a social activity and is therefore built around the concept of social networking. In Mahara, one may have a collection of friends; may belong to one or more groups and may offer feedback to other people.

Activity

File:Mahara-add-feedback-to-views.ogv Adding feedback to views. To familiarise yourself with the social networking side of Mahara, complete the following: Search for and find a 'friend' Send a friend request Request membership of (or join) a group Share a view with me and one other person Add a 'Secret URL' to a view and email this URL to a third person. Add feedback to a view that someone shares with you.

Collections

Collections are groups of pages that can be shared. To create a collection, go Portfolio > Collections > New collection. Add the pages you would like to include in the collection and save. Be aware that adding a secret URL for one page in a collection makes all pages in the collection available for view. Extension: Create a group for a class you teach and set it up for them to become members. Video Create a group in Mahara
