What's involved with a Mahara implementation?
Although real life is not always as neat and tidy as we would like it to be, a Mahara implementation will essentially pass through three broadly distinct stages:
1. Analysis and Specification
2. Design and Implementation
3. Evaluation and Continuation
To scaffold your Mahara implementation here, we have decided to take you through a sequence of opinions, questions, and suggestions. We have split those broader stages into some smaller phases as follows:
ANALYSIS AND SPECIFICATION
Phase 1: Decide if Mahara is right for you.
Phase 2: Understand your own specific needs and working conditions.
Phase 3: Choose between a Mahara-partner supported site or your own installation.
Phase 4: Scope out your implementation plan.
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Phase 5: Create a Buzz!
Phase 6: Get some quick wins in first!
Phase 7: Continuously involve the users in your design process.
Phase 8: Keep going despite adversity!
EVALUATION AND CONTINUATION
Phase 9: Review and Re-evaluate.
Phase 10: Change and Embed.
