Lesson types
| Type | Content | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Upload directly OR embed Vimeo / YouTube | Most lecture content |
| Text | Rich text editor (headings, lists, images, embed code) | Reference material, written guides, transcripts |
| Video + Text | Both - video plays at top, text below | Lectures with companion notes, transcripts, downloadable resources |
| Quiz | Multiple choice, true/false, short answer | Comprehension checks, certifications, gating progression |
| Assignment | Submission box for member-uploaded files | Workshop-style courses, peer-review programs |
| Embed | Embed external content (Loom, Notion, etc.) | Living documents, interactive demos |
Video upload best practices
Resolution: 1080p (1920×1080) is the sweet spot - 4K is overkill and slows playback for most viewers
Format: MP4 with H.264 codec is universally compatible
File size: keep individual videos under 2 GB; if you have a 4-hour lecture, split it into 5–10 minute lessons - completion rates improve dramatically
Audio: aim for clean, normalized audio - viewers tolerate so-so video, not bad audio
Captions/subtitles: upload SRT files alongside the video for accessibility (legally required in some jurisdictions)
Quiz setup
Add a Quiz lesson
Click "+ Add Question"
Choose question type: Multiple Choice, True/False, Short Answer, or Essay
Enter the question text and answer options
Mark correct answers (auto-graded for multiple choice and T/F)
Set passing score (e.g., 70%)
Configure retry behavior: unlimited retries, 3 attempts, or 1-and-done
Choose what happens on pass: unlock next module, issue certificate, or send a workflow trigger
TIP — Quiz design that actually works
Aim for 5–10 questions per quiz. Mix difficulty levels (easy comprehension + harder application). Always show feedback on wrong answers - "Not quite - see Lesson 3.2 for a refresher" - not just "Wrong." Quizzes are a learning tool, not just a gate.
