titleHow do I share my ePortfolio with someone outside the university?

Secret URL for sharing with people outside the university

You can share your Pages or Collections with people outside the University, such as prospective employers, subject specialists or external examiners, using a secret URL. This provides users who do not have an account on Mahara access to your portfolio.

Info

Important: Be careful to review the information you share in this way.  For example, make sure you are not breaking copyright or data protection rules and that you are aware that the material in your portfolio will be publicly accessible.

  • From the Main Menu select Share > Shared by me.  Click the Edit secret URL access (globe) icon next to the collection or page for which you want to give access permissions.

  • Click the New secret URL button to generate a new secret URL. You can add as many secret URLs as you wish.

  • Click the Copy button to copy the secret URL to your clipboard. You can then paste it into an email to send to somebody.

  • Click on the pencil if you want to set a period during which the link should be valid.

  • Click the Delete button if you do not want to use this secret URL anymore.

You must then specify who or who should have access to the template and who can therefore use it.

You have two options: Choose students one by one, or give everyone at the University of Gothenburg the opportunity to find and use the template.
