Abstract
This chapter highlights how e-portfolios, specifically the Mahara opensource environment, may be used by students and supervisors to enhance traditional undergraduate supervision practices. Mahara facilitates a collaborative peer support model of supervision and provides a centralized and accessible repository of artefacts, interactions and outputs that may be utilized to support the undergraduate research dissertation as it develops. The chapter concludes with a set of recommendations on the effective application of Mahara to dissertation supervision.
Keywords: e-portfolios, collaborative undergraduate supervision, critical thinking, feedback, goal-setting, peer support, reflection, student-centred research, Mahara.
