Mahara And Moodle - Love at first sight! | The Moodleman Blog
-
- When portfolios are enable, every page or major piece of content in Moodle has a little “Capture this” button beside it.
- User clicks one of these buttons
- User is able to choose from a list of configured portfolios (this step will be skipped if there’s only one).
- User is asked to define some metadata to go with the captured content
- The content and metadata is COPIED to the external portfolio system
- User has an option to “Return to the course” or “Visit their portfolio”.
Mahara is the first portfolio system to start tying in with Moodle. as of 1.8 Moodle has included a Networking function to allow external systems to connect and share information with it. The logical use of this was to allow users to access multiple Moodle installs. But Mahara is the first external application to make use of this to allow for users to jump between two different web applications.
The integration is still in it’s early days as the new Portfolio API is not yet complete. Once completed, the new API will allow for:
But for now the integration does allow for SSO (Single Sign On) and also brings user data across from Moodle.
