Mahara User Group (MUG)

Welcome to the Mahara User Group (MUG) Page 

The Mahara User Group (MUG) is a community of Mahara users from across the globe who collaborate on ideas, challenges and innovations related to the Mahara open-source ePortfolio platform. After holding its inaugural meeting on August 9, 2011, MUG established a Facebook page (link) to continue conversations and plan for future meetings. On October 13, 2011, MUG met virtually for a web conference, during which various institutions shared their progress with implementing Mahara on their campuses. MUG currently has members from various countries, including, Germany, Canada and from states both in and out of the continental United States.

Mahara User Group Meeting

by Samantha Egan

On August 9, Pace University successfullyhosted the first Mahara User Group Meeting (MUG), a collaborative discussion among local universities who use the MaharaePortfolioopen sourceplatform. Attendees included representatives from Albertus Magnus College, SUNY Purchase and Plymouth State University, as well as faculty, staff and students from various areas within Pace. 

Each institution shared their successes, challenges and various uses of Mahara. Ellen Marie Murphy from Plymouth StateCollege (now at SUNY Empire State College) also gave the group a preview of new features in Mahara 1.4, including new built-in reporting features for the system administrator, a name change from “blogs” to “journals”, and an option for uploading a series of images with the “image gallery” content box.

A virtual meeting will be held virtually via Blackboard Collaborate on October 13 from 1:00-2:00pm ET. The group plans to continue conversations between meetings using the Mahara User Group Facebook page.
