At the most basic level, Mahara is two things: an `ePortfolio <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eportfolio>`_ and a `social networking <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network>`_ system combined. An ePortfolio is a system in which students can record 'evidence of lifelong learning' -- such as essays, artwork or other such things they produce that can be stored digitally. Such things are known as *artefacts* in Mahara. Social networking systems give a way for people to interact with their friends and create their own online communities.

But Mahara is much more than just a place to store files. Mahara also includes blogging, a résumé builder, and web services to integrate with other platforms.
