...highly useful application for delivering learning. We also believe the overall environment can be enhanced and complemented by a learner-centred personal learning environment such as Mahara. Pan-institutional learner communities can also be encouraged using Mahara. Mahara’s architecture is inspired by the modular, extensible architecture of Moodle. The Mahara team has also been heavily involved in the Moodle community, with recent work mostly focused on Moodle Networks. Similarly, Mahara systems can be networked together as well having single sign-on from Moodle 1.9 upwards. In a sense, we see Mahara as a ‘sister’ application although the two systems are not required to go together. Mahara will continue to evolve as a ‘pluggable’, modular e-Portfolio system designed to leverage Web 2.0 web services and built with...

...Portfolio Strategy Portfolio Strategy This paper will focus on 23 global emerging markets studied by Goldman Sachs Investment Research. In this paper I will revise the initial portfolio strategy from 1999 that touched on long-term perspective on short term risk. The emerging countries are within Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Middle East. The information the company provided was strictly based on a predicted study of future outcomes based on emerging markets. The paper of itself does not issue a company strategy on how to use the information found. In this paper I will use scenarios the company presents and determine how Goldman Sachs should invest 5 million dollars recently received to maximize its wealth. In the overview Goldman Sachs mentioned: That they developed a model of discount rate determination that permits the company to recreate discount rate history and calculate discount rates for 23 emerging markets over the last 25 years. The comparison of current discount rates versus their long-term trend has powerful investment implications and turns the investment decision on its head. Abnormally high discount rates relative to history (normally interpreted as punishing cash flows) may be a buy signal, while abnormally low rates may be a sell signal. Current emerging market discount rates are approximately in line with their five-year moving average. From purely a risk perspective, Asian markets appear undervalued, while Latin America and EMEA...
