I didn't realize there were so many extensions for Mahara! One of the reasons we chose the platform originally was because it was Open Source. We saw the benefits of it being free both money-wise and code-wise. Now, I'm starting to see how it also benefits from a developer community. The chemical structures plugin is interesting for us as there is a chemistry element to our learning units. I'm going to contact the administrators to see if we can get a demo running. |
