About

Mahara Portfolio is Cardiff Met’s ePortfolio platform, designed to help students and staff create, organise, and showcase their learning, achievements, skills, and reflective practice in a professional digital portfolio.

Through Mahara, you can:

• Create professional digital portfolios and personal profiles
• Upload and organise documents, images, videos, and other evidence
• Record reflections and learning journeys
• Share portfolio pages with tutors, peers, external assessors, or employers
• Support assessment, placement, accreditation, and employability activities
