⏱️ The Essentials in 3 Minutes

• 9 blocks available: Text, List, Image, Dialogue, Video, Audio, Document, Embed, Image analysis.
• 4 customizable options: Layout, Content, Style, Format.
• The order of blocks can be reorganized at any time using the directional arrows.


🧠 Understanding the Value of Content Blocks

Varying formats maintains attention and adapts the presentation to the nature of the content: a procedure is better shown in a video, an exchange in a dialogue, a data point in structured text. Choosing the right block is in itself a pedagogical decision.


📄 Text

Add paragraphs, headings, or lists to convey written information. Ideal for explaining a concept, introducing a topic, or guiding the learner.

📋 List

Structure information as a list to make it easier to read and remember. Six formats are available from the layout: Numbered, Bullets, Accordion, Tabs, Timeline, Steps.

🖼️ Image

Import an illustration, infographic, diagram, or photo. Useful for visually reinforcing a message or representing a process.

💬 Dialogue

Integrate a role-play scenario in the form of a conversation between two characters. Allows learning to be contextualized within a realistic exchange.

🎥 Video

Add an informational or demonstration video by importing a file (e.g. .mp4). Effective for energizing content or illustrating a process.

🔊 Audio

Allow the learner to listen to audio content. Particularly useful for language training, podcasts, or testimonials.

📑 Document

Embed a document for the learner to view or download. Practical for providing supplementary material or a reference guide.

🔗 Embed

Add embedded content from an external source: interactive map, third-party tool, YouTube video, etc.

🔍 Image Analysis

Add an image the learner can explore via interactive zoom. Ideal for analyzing a map, a mockup, or any complex visual.


⚙️ Customization Options Per Block

In the editor of an exercise granule, hover over a block to reveal the customization icons in the top left.

  • ✏️ Content: edits the texts and elements displayed in the block.

  • 🈁 Layout: adjusts the layout of a text, list, or image block (arrangement of content within the block).

  • 🎨 Style: changes the background color of the block to improve contrast or visually distinguish sections.

  • 📏 Format: adjusts margins and image size (XS, S, M, L).


🔀 Reordering Blocks

Use the directional arrows on the right of each block to move them up or down. This lets you rework the presentation logic without recreating elements.
