The pages can have different types of content. Most pages in Wikiversity are similar to Wikipedia pages, just including special markers which indicate the project(s) it belongs to, the type of resource, the level of completion, etc. (see the labels at the right of this page). Those are called lectures. But there can also be quizzes, experiments, flash cards, etc. There is a whole list here.

Images can be added anywhere as long as they exist in or are loaded to the Wikimedia project Commons. Once they are uploaded, use the Embedded File button (picture icon) in the editor menu to place and format them. You can change their size, location, frame, caption and alignment. Please use images only when they add content and not just as eye candy.
