Lessons

Introduction

1. A lesson is an educational module used to build courses and programs.

A lesson can only be part of a course or program. If a  ourse consists of one lesson, create the lesson first, then add it to the course.  

2. Lessons can be in the following formats (only one option):

• Video Lesson (pre-uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, VK Video, Rutube, or any other video hosting platform);

• SCORM;

• pdf (e.g., presentations, instructions, and other materials in PDF format));

• Longread. A Longread can consist of a single element or combine all these formats:

  • video,

  • audio,

  • image,

  • text.

For example, to create an audio course:

• create a lesson in longread formatа, 
• add an audio file to the longread 
• create a course based on the lesson.

3. Unlimited additional materials and links can be added to a lesson. 

The Lessons section is only available to the application moderator.

FAQ Section

What file sizes can be uploaded to lessons?

Answer: There are no file size restrictions. Consider your network and available disk space in the application.

Can video or PDF files resume from where the user stopped and closed the lesson?

Answer: Currently, this feature is unavailable. We recommend:

• Creating smaller content for one-time completion;
• Advising users to note their stopping point to continue later.

How to expand the screen when viewing a lesson?

Answer: To enlarge the visible area, collapse the menu by clicking the element . The menu can be collapsed in the application and CRM system.

How to resize video or PDF files? Why don’t videos or PDF files auto-scale?

Answer.

Video. When embedded from a video hosting platform, it auto-scales. When added to a longread, manually adjust the size; video in longread does not auto-scale.

PDF. PDF files do not auto-scale. Built-in tools allow resizing and rotating. Users can open PDFs in a separate window if needed.

Can we upload and play videos stored on our disk in a lesson?

Answer: No. Video files can be uploaded:

• To a video lesson by pre-uploading to any video hosting platform.
• To a longread, where videos are stored on our server.
• To additional materials, where videos are stored on our server and downloaded to the user’s device when opened.

How to insert video, audio, image into a longread?

Answer: To insert an image, click insert - image. For video/audio, click insert - multimedia. In the dialog box, select the file and click Save.
