This workshop was invited by Moodle Moot Japan 2022. Details can be viewed on their website.
This is an online hands-on activity that aims to inform participants on what Mahara can do and how to use it. The 90-minute online workshop will take place via BigBlueButton made available by MoodleMoot Japan 2022 conference. During the event I will engage every participant in a bundled environment integrating both Moodle and Mahara. Each learner will access an online course "Mahara in 90 Minutes", which includes six lessons and six hands-on assignments. These lessons cover: Overview of Mahara, Creating in Mahara - ePortfolio pages and collections, Creating in Mahara - Plan and record development, Sharing with Mahara, Engaging in Mahara - Groups, and Assessment with Mahara - Mahoodle. The six assignments will guide participants to dive into the provided Mahara site and create their own ePortfolio pages, collections and groups. The course embraces the approach of creation-based learning and follows a novel online teaching model CLEAR (Create, Locate, Enlarge, Apply, and Reflect) by Dr. Jingjing Lin. It is also designed to be a self-regulated learning experience so that anyone can use it independently.
