"Hands-On Labs Session In this Hands-on manual, you will learn to setup your own Mahara ePortfolio server and integrate it with Moodle LMS. We assume that you know how to install and configure Linux CentOS-5 server, and also how to install and configure Moodle LMS on Linux. In this lab session, you learn how to install and configure Mahara on Linux CentOS-5. Next, I will show how to integrate it with Moodle LMS using SSO via XMLRPC authentication scheme. The entire hands-on lab was done using VMware; however, you can also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, Citrix XenServer, or VirtualBox from Oracle."

Mahara is a plat form that allows users to build an electronic or digital portfolio usually accessed via the internet. Users can upload files, including documents and images, to their portfolio and use these along with text that they input to provide evidence of their qualifications and skills. Mahara is integrated with Moodle.
