Course Details

• Provides information about the course like the name and WebApp (Learning Platform) URL for the course. 

• Shows all owners, collaborators, and content reviewers for this course. 

• Export content, edit, replicate (copy), and publish this course from this area.

• Give course access, use the find & replace function, set course configurations, and customize the navigation menu.

Lesson Outline

• Also known as Table of Contents, you will see the lesson outline. This is where all Lesson Categories and Subcategories live. 

• All Lesson Categories must have at least one subcategory. 

• Within the Lesson Outline you can build Lesson Categories and Lessons.

Flashcards

• Flashcard Categories are the structure of all Flashcard content. 

• Flashcards have two sides—one with a key term or concept, the other with the definition or explanation. 

• Flashcards help learners study content and are typically positioned after Lesson content in the Study Plan. Flashcards on our platform mimic their paper equivalent.

• You can build Flashcard categories in this area.

Questions

• Question Categories are the structure of all Question content. 

• Shows practice and test questions. 

• Offers a variety of Answer Types and allows you to connect groups of questions to the same content, called Passages.

• You can build question categories and passages in this area.

• Each question belongs to a category; sub-categories are optional. 

• On both BluePrint and the WebApp, Questions appear nested within their categories.

Tests

• There are two types of tests on our platform: timed and untimed. A timed test is called Full Length Test (FLT) in BluePrint.

• By default, tests are untimed on our platform. However, you can change a test to a full length. 

• Untimed tests contain a series of questions, but no sections or breaks.

• Test Questions are not immediately followed by explanations and related lessons. Rather, a learner must complete the entire assessment before viewing answer explanations.

Study Tasks

• There are two types of study plans: Adaptive and Structured. Within the lesson, we will focus on Structured Study Plans. 

• An Adaptive Study Plan orders course content, called Knowledge Sets, based on the user's mastery of the material. To learn more about adaptive study plans, click here.

• A Structured Study Plan is a linear pathway through all course content. 

• Structured Study Plan tasks contain either lessons, flashcards, practice questions, or a test.

Milestones

• Restricts learners from seeing specific content in the learning application until meeting certain criteria. 

• Gives course designers more control over how learners consume content. 

• Course designers can use Milestones to prevent learners from taking a particular exam until they complete certain lessons, for example.

• Offers positive reinforcement through tracking and achievements

• To learn more about Milestones and to implement them within your tenant, click here.

Assignments

• Enables learners to create and submit long form responses to a question.

• Based on the assignment’s configuration, learners can submit an assignment to a grader for Feedback or a Grade (score), or self-grade their assignments.

Assets

• Upload assets/resources in multiple formats in this area.

• Upload specific instructions or handouts for your learners.

Replicator Log

• Tracks all replications (copies) within the course, from their source to their destination.

• Useful for version control if users need to make changes to a single content piece that appears in multiple courses.

• Once finished, you can view it in the Activity Log.

• Users will also be emailed once their replication is complete.
