Add Content Blocks

Blocks are the content units of a course. Each page in your course is a rich-text document, and you build it by typing prose and inserting blocks where you want learners to read, watch, practice, or get tested. This page covers all seven block types; see Build Sections and Pages for the structure around them.

​

Inserting a Block

Open a page in the editor and use the slash menu to add a block. Six block types are insertable from the menu: Roleplay, Quiz, Video, Slides, File, and Article. The seventh type, plain text, is not a menu item; you simply type prose directly on the page.

​

The Seven Block Types

​

Block Settings That Apply Everywhere

Two settings are available on blocks regardless of type:

• Optional. An optional block is available to learners but not required for completing the course. Use it for supplementary material.
• Display mode. Choose how the block presents itself: as a Card the learner clicks into, Inline within the page, or as a Full page of its own. Card is available on every block type; Inline and Full page depend on the type, so an article or roleplay does not offer Inline.

Open a block’s settings from the block itself to change its display mode, rename it, and reach the type-specific settings below.

​

Quiz and Roleplay Blocks

Quiz and Roleplay are the two graded block types, and both support AI generation inside the editor:

• Quiz offers “Generate with AI” and “Build from scratch” tabs. Learners must hit the passing score within the attempt limit, so these blocks can gate completion. See Add a Quiz for question authoring and settings.
• Roleplay offers “Generate with AI” and “Pick existing” tabs, and you set the minimum rank and minimum attempts a learner needs. See Add a Roleplay for the full setup, and AI Roleplays for how scenarios work.

AI generation for both is scoped to “This page” or “This whole section”, and you can regenerate if the first draft is not right.
