Courses: Interactive Lessons

Interactive lessons let you build more engaging course content directly inside a lesson. Instead of using only a written lesson or a standalone video, you can combine multiple content types into one lesson experience.

Interactive lessons are a good fit for guided learning, self-paced review, onboarding content, and lessons that benefit from a mix of written, visual, and interactive elements.

Learners complete interactive lessons from the course study room, just like other lesson types. When they finish reviewing the lesson, they can select Complete to mark it as done.

You can add an interactive lesson from the Course Content tab in the course dashboard.

New interactive lessons open in draft mode so you can build and review the lesson before publishing it.

Interactive lessons are made up of content blocks. You can add multiple blocks to create a lesson that matches your course format and learning goals.

Interactive lessons support the following block types:

Use the block menu to add content to the lesson. After selecting a block, use the configuration panel to update its content and settings.

Use the Text block to add written lesson content, such as introductions, explanations, instructions, or reference material.

Use the Checklist block to add a checklist with a title and description. This is helpful for process-based training, review steps, or action items learners should follow.

Use the Flip Card block to create two-sided cards that learners can click or tap to flip.

Flip cards are useful for:

Each flip card block can include multiple cards displayed in a grid. For each card, you can add text to the front and back, and you can also add a background image.

Use the Image block to add screenshots, diagrams, visual references, or other supporting images to the lesson.

Use the Video block to embed supported videos directly in the lesson. This is useful for walkthroughs, demonstrations, or short explanations that appear alongside other lesson content.

Interactive lessons support draft editing, so you can build content over time before publishing it for learners.

If the lesson has not been published yet, your draft is the working version of the lesson. After the lesson has been published, learners continue to see the latest published version until you publish another update.

From the learner’s view, an interactive lesson includes:

Learners move through the lesson in the course study room and select Complete when they are ready to finish the lesson.

To update an interactive lesson, open the lesson from the course dashboard and edit the content blocks you want to change.

You can:

Interactive lessons work best when each lesson focuses on a clear learning objective.

Common use cases include:

For the best learner experience, keep each lesson focused on one topic and choose content blocks that support that lesson’s goal.
