Mahara 25.04 version highlights.
The new Mahara release focuses on three main areas:
- Community consultation feedback
- Getting ready for the UX changes in the next version – 26.04
- New admin and portfolio features and enhancements to existing features
Some of the improvements in Mahara 25.04 include:
- Easier template creation – combining the image gallery and blocks into one, Mahara 25.04 will offer more flexibility in adding images – you can use one block, instead of deciding between and ‘Image’ and an ‘Image Gallery’ block; portfolio owners will also have more options e.g. how many images they wish to display
- Ability for students to add own assessment to a portfolio page using the Self Assessment block – this adds to the existing peer assessment block and improves template creation experience
- Ability to add custom maintenance messages when placing your site in maintenance mode
- Ability for Administrators to create categories of CPD experiences. In general, the CPD block will now have more data fields and a reflection area as well.
- Onboarding options and updating account data in bulk will make Administrators’ experience more efficient
- A visual overview of professional development programs will make it easier for portfolio owners to track their progress – see completed goals and outstanding tasks
