How do I add content to a page?

There are many different types of content you can add to Mahara, by adding different types of blocks to a page.

You can add and layout content directly on the Edit screen of a page.

Drag the Drag to add a new block button onto the page. Alternatively, you can click on the + button to select where to add the new block.

If you use a keyboard to navigate Mahara, you should enable accessible page creation in your account preferences and set your page to have an accessible layout in your page settings.
You can drop your block wherever you see a rectangle surrounded by a dotted line.
Once the block is on the page, select the block type you want to add using the block configuration panel that appears on the page. You can also use the cog icon to edit the block later.
Resize the width and/or height of a block by dragging the Resize icon in the bottom right corner of a block to change its dimensions.
You can move a block by clicking its heading and dragging and dropping it elsewhere.

Blocks that contain dynamic content, e.g., the journal blocks, may get longer with time and push other blocks down. Consider how the layout of your page will change as time passes, and plan accordingly.
Click the Display page button to view your page and its content without the edit controls.
