  • Tip: Use videos to enhance the learning experience, such as tutorials, demonstrations, or welcome messages.
• Adding Other Media:
  • Use the “+” icon to add additional widgets for images, audio files, or links.
  • For example, you can add an Image widget to include visual aids or an Audio widget to provide recorded explanations.

3. Customising Your Content

You can structure your lessons and topics with as much variety as you need:

• Multiple Content Blocks: Add multiple text boxes, videos, or other widgets to create a diverse and engaging lesson.
• Reorganise Content: Rearrange the order of widgets by dragging and dropping them within the editor.
• Preview Your Lesson: Once you’ve added your content, click View Lesson at the top of the page to see how it will appear to learners.

4. Finalising Your Lesson or Topic

• Once all content has been added, click Update to save your changes.
• Repeat this process for each lesson, topic, or quiz in your course outline.
• Ensure consistency in the design and layout across lessons to provide learners with a seamless experience.

Pro Tips:

• Use simple and clear headings to break up content for better readability.
• Include interactive elements, such as embedded quizzes or discussion prompts, to keep learners engaged.
