Build modules and lessons
A module groups related lessons. A lesson gives the learner one clear activity. Short, purposeful lessons make progress easier to understand than one long page containing everything.
Add and arrange content
- Open a course's Curriculum.
- Add a module with a clear title and, if useful, a short introduction.
- Choose Add lesson, then select the lesson type.
- Enter the title, content, and settings for that type.
- Save the lesson and check its preview.
- Arrange modules and lessons using drag-and-drop or the ordering controls.
Use curriculum search in a long course. Archive lessons you no longer want active instead of replacing meaningful historical content with an unrelated lesson.
Choose the right lesson type
| Lesson | Good for | What to configure |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | Instructions, explanations, worked examples | Rich text, headings, images, and an estimated reading time |
| Video | Demonstrations and recorded teaching | The supported video URL or embed and its delivery settings |
| Resource | PDFs, worksheets, reference files | A protected upload and a useful description of what to download |
| Assignment | Practical work and instructor feedback | Instructions, submission limits, points, passing score, and rubric |
| Quiz | Knowledge checks and assessed tests | Questions, selection rules, attempts, timing, and grading |
These are the bundled lesson types. Do not assume that references to audio, live sessions, protected streaming, SCORM, or cmi5 in a product plan mean a corresponding player is installed. See advanced learning integrations for current availability and limitations.
Decide what counts as completion
Lesson behaviour depends on its type and configuration. A resource can record a successful download; an assignment waits for assessment; a quiz follows its assessment rules. Review the relevant delivery and completion controls instead of assuming that opening every lesson completes it.
For video, confirm what your installed player can measure. A generic embedded video does not necessarily provide reliable watched-percentage evidence. If your training requires that measurement, verify that an installed player explicitly supports it and test its completion rule before relying on the result.
Mark a lesson as a free preview only when its content is intended to be accessible without the normal course entitlement. Do not make a mandatory assessment a preview as a workaround for a locked learner.
Add resources accessibly
Use meaningful headings, descriptive link text, readable images, and captions or transcripts for video. Explain a download's purpose before its button. Supply an alternative when an external activity depends on a capability some learners may not have.
Upload private course files through the resource lesson, rather than pasting a public media URL. See protected files.
Check the real learner flow
Open the course as a learner, complete the first activity, and move to the next. Check the outline, progress indicator, lesson search, previous/next controls, and resume behaviour. If the next item is locked, its access or progression rule may be doing exactly what you configured.
