Chapter 2. Getting Started with Mahara

Now that we have understood some of the potential of Mahara it's time to get started. The very first thing you are going to do is to register for a Mahara site, log in, and set up your own personal profile page.

In this chapter we shall:

  • Register to join the demonstration Mahara that accompanies this book
  • Explore the Mahara user interface
  • Enter your personal information
  • Think about what goes into our own profile page and start configuring it
  • Have a brief introduction to the Mahara text editor

By the end of the chapter, you will have set up your own profile page in Mahara and be ready to start adding your "stuff".
