You can have as many Views as you like, each with a different collection of Artefacts, and intended purpose and audience. Your audience, or the people you wish to give access to your View, can be added as individuals or as a member of a Group or Community.

ePortfolio owners create Views using a 4 step process and Views have the following features:

•     ePortfolio owners can receive public or private feedback on their View and Artefacts within that    View.
•     Users accessing a View can report any objectionable material directly to the Site Administrator.
•     Users can add Views and Artefacts within a View to their Watchlist and receive automated notifications of any changes or updates.
•     ePortfolio owners can Submit a View for Assessment by a tutor or teacher allowing for a snapshot of the View and associated Artefacts on a certain date.

•     Mahara is built using PHP web scripting language and leverages PHP5s OO features.
•     All plug-ins follow a consistent structure and inherit from a common base class (core functions of plug-ins   are implemented once)
•     Mahara currently supports plug-ins for Artefacts, Authentication and Search. Therefore interoperating with an existing product simply requires the development of a plug-in.
