Kinds of step

Every step you can add to a course flow, from modules and menus to emails, groups and uploads.

Content the learner works through

  • A module: slides, video or a quiz you've already built, or a new one you build now.
  • A message: a short screen with your own words, such as a welcome, a warning, a sign-off or their progress so far.

Change what happens next

  • A menu: the learner picks one of a few paths. You set where each path rejoins.
  • Course logic: branch on score or group. For example, pass carries on and fail repeats a module, or each group goes down its own path.
  • End the course: tells the learner they've finished, with their certificate and score. Nothing runs after it on that path.

Do something in the background

  • Send them an email: goes to their inbox, with optional reminders a few days later if they haven't moved on.
  • Add them to a group: tags the learner so reporting, reminders and certificates can find them. This was called Group.

  • Request a document or image: the learner uploads a file before moving on.
  • Set a variable: save a value, like a score or an answer, for later steps and rules to read.
