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.
