What is a Course?
Courses are the actual presentation or teaching component of a module. Courses typically are made of “course breaks” (intro), “screens” (text) and quiz questions.
The average course takes 3-5 minutes to complete, which translates into about 15-20 screens and 1-3 quiz questions
Including at least 1 quiz question to break up lessons can help drive knowledge retention throughout the module
Include a title screen that outlines what the lesson will be about - agenda with bullets or paragraph summary or EWBAT (Employee Will Be Able To…)
Include media (gif's, images, and videos) to compliment the text on the screen
Adding videos, images, and gif's that compliment the text on the screen can help keep learners engaged and infuse your brand into your training.
Course Screens
Within a course there are 7 types of content screens:
Text
Tables
Title Screen
Image Choice
