  • Rich text

    Write the lesson in the editor, with headings, images, tables, callouts and checklists. Type / to add more blocks.

  • Quiz

    Pick a quiz or create one. It completes the chapter when the learner passes, so it counts toward progress and the certificate.

  • Assignment

    Pick an assignment or create one. Learners submit their work for you to review.

  • Live session

    Not a chapter type. Add it with Add live session in the Live Sessions block at the bottom of the curriculum.
