There are many reasons for creating templates in Mahara, for example:

  • Scaffold the creation of portfolios
  • Have students create compliance portfolios without them needing to set up the structure
  • Plan the portfolio use


Why not share the templates that you have created with other users? Currently, it is not possible to do that directly from within Mahara. There is a wishlist item for that though if you wish to work on that or fund the work to have it implemented.

If you want to share your templates:

  1. make a Leap2A export of the template
  2. upload the ZIP file to your portfolio or here
  3. put a link to the ZIP file here
  4. include a link to the live template on your instance so people can see what the template allows you to do


Looking for work flows that may help you implementing portfolios at your institution? Check out the work flow sharing page.
