e-Portfolio development
The standard format for portfolio submission is an e-Portfolio, developed through a web-based portfolio-building site.
The current e-Portfolio template, using AU's eLab Mahara platform, allows the upload of documents and files to a secure site. When finished, current PLAR students pass the completed site over to CLA for assessment.
AU is moving away from the Mahara platform and expects to launch a new, state-of-the-art e-Portfolio platform soon.
Please do not begin building your e-Portfolio without first confirming eligibility with your PLAR mentor and then following their guidance to develop the content of your portfolio.
Use the following resources to help you build your e-Portfolio in the current Mahara platform:
Alternative submission routes must be negotiated with your mentor.Updated November 07, 2025 by Digital & Web Operations, University Relations (web_services@athabascau.ca)
