How to create a lesson

With the drag and drop lesson builder, you can create a media-rich lesson. Use a variety of multimedia elements to help your students perceive information better: audio and video lectures, text instructions, lesson summaries in downloadable documents, samples, and so on.

In this article, we will look at how to add and configure each element, change students’ access status, and modify the order of lessons.

Go your course page and click Add Lesson.

You can also proceed to create a lesson using the drag and drop lesson builder. Click on the top left menu, and below the lesson list, click on the arrow, and select Add Lesson.

Choose the name of your lesson

Enter the name of your lesson.

We recommend keeping lesson names short so that they are fully visible in your course program. You can also include emojis if you'd like.

Add elements

Select an item in the left panel, and drag it to the workspace for further customization.

In the drag and drop lesson builder, you can use seven elements to create a lesson: text, gallery, audio, file, line, indent, task and button.

Text

This element is used to add a text block to a page.

Gallery: Image, Video, and Carousel

This element is used to visualize data and add multimedia elements to the page: image, image carousel, and video.

Drag the Gallery element. In the right panel, select a gallery type, and configure it.

Image

The Image element displays a single image, stretching it to the content area width.

Click Choose file. Select an image from the image manager, or upload a new one.

Icons with the following actions will appear next to every image:

Carousel

The Gallery element can also be used to scroll through multiple images.

The process of uploading and editing each picture is the same as for the Gallery: Image element.

To add more pictures, click Add.

With the Carousel Height option, you can adjust the height of all pictures — choose the initial height of the image itself or set your own size. Your images will be stretched to the full height.

With the Swipe speed option, you can set the speed at which the pictures in the carousel will be scrolled automatically. If you select the Manual option, the pictures will not be scrolled, and your students will need to do this themselves.

Video

With the Video element, you can add a video tutorial.

Audio

This element is used to upload audio content.

Audio lessons are a good option for busy people, as lectures can be listened to on the way to work or university.

Drag the Audio element, and in the right panel, click Choose file.

In the workspace, you can listen to the audio and view all the options available to the student: rewind the track, adjust the sound, and modify the playback speed.

To replace the uploaded audio, click on the uploaded icon. To delete it, click on the trashcan icon.

File

This element is used to upload other file types that don't play directly on the lesson page. To view your files, students need to download them.

For example, you can upload an Excel spreadsheet with data that you analyze during your lesson, a mindmap on the structure of your course, or a summary of the material covered in PDF.

Drag the File element, and in the right panel, click Choose file. Select a file from the file manager or upload a new one.

You can also customize the display of the file list (row or column).

Indent and line

They are used for visual organization of free space and semantic separation of blocks on the page.

To add a line, drag the Divider element, and select a line type, size, and color.

To add an indent without other elements, drag the Spacer element, and select an indent size.

Task

Use Task element to put students' acquired knowledge to the test during a practical task.

Button

Use buttons to add links to other pages. For example, you can encourage students to sign up for another course of yours.

Drag the Button element, and configure it in the right panel. You can add a button text and link and set your button link to be opened in a new tab upon clicking.

You can also adjust your button size, text color, and background, add an outline, and modify your button width and position relative to the border.

Actions with elements

You can also select an element that you have already added and copy it along with all the settings. To do this, click on the copy icon under the element.

To delete an item, click on the trashcan icon.

To change the order of your elements, select the element you want to move, hold down the green square, and drag the element to the desired location.

Configure lesson options

Click on the top left panel to expand the list of lessons, and select Lesson Settings from the drop-down menu of the desired lesson.

Lesson access option

If you add a new lesson to a running course, its access will be automatically set to Closed. To make your lesson available, go to its settings.

In the Access field, select your lesson’s access type:

Once you finish creating and configuring your lessons, click Save and exit in the upper right corner of the builder.

You can view and edit saved lessons.

You can view test results and student progress in the Analytics tab and in each student's card.
