Liip is happy to announce that we are now the official Swiss Mahara Partner! Mahara is an Open Source
ePortfolio system.
In many respects Mahara is a âsisterâ application to Moodle, providing students with a learning environment that they themselves own, giving them them the ability to showcase their work and collaborate with their peers. However, Mahara is also well suited as a social networking system, running out of the box without Moodle.
Mahara was originally funded by the New Zealand government's Tertiary Education Commission, and has grown into a thriving open source product that is increasingly being adopted worldwide. It makes a lot of sense for Liip to be a partner, both because we're already the official Moodle partner in Switzerland, and Mahara fits very well into our existing list of projects we work with, and because Penny Leach, one of the original core developers, is now working at Liip.
We are very much looking forward to providing services around Mahara!
