"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."

Overview: This unit was developed to promote employability skills by preparing students for two, two-week work placements. The unit aimed to support and challenge the students to identify the best work placement opportunities that fulfil their future career objectives. The unit aimed to build up confidence in students so they could approach suitable organisations, and produce the materials for applications, such as CVs, covering letters and telephone skills. The students would use myPortfolio (Mahara) to showcase and enhance their digital profile. The sessions were delivered in workshop format to maximise on the opportunity for participation and engagement and consisted of a combination of lecturer-led sessions, Careers Advisory sessions & tutorials, and IT workshops with members of the Learning Technologies team.
