Mahara+Understanding+Your+Audience


 * Understanding Your Audience ** Your ePortfolio is a means of displaying work to instructors, fellow students, and potential employers. Accordingly, content should address common aims of these audiences.

An ePortfolio should display the user's proficiency in academics, primarily for instructors. Past research work and classwork exhibit students' abilities for faculty members, and can also appeal to students seeking partners in collaborative projects. As well, ePortfolios can be used to advertise skill to potential employers. Mahara includes fields to input the user's resume, with a variety of topics ranging from employment history to published works and professional memberships. In addition, academic work relevant to employment goals augments a resume.
