What are pages in Mahara?
In Chapter 2, Getting Started with Mahara, you were introduced to the concept of being able to create web pages in Mahara, which are called pages. You also got a glimpse of how easy it is to use the drag-and-drop facility to add blocks to a page when tailoring your profile page and dashboard page.
Pages are great! They are one of the stand-out features of Mahara and we think you are really going to enjoy learning to use them. Pages, like journals, are an excellent tool for reflection. The difference between the two is that a journal is very text orientated with a user reflecting on a topic in writing (usually with an image or video to supplement the text), and pages are more flexible, allowing you to pull in content from a wide range of sources (both from your own portfolio or freely available on the web) by using the blocks feature.

I often compare pages to photocopied handouts. They are representations of content for colleagues... |
