Contents

Heading

The heading module allows you to structure your course clearly and professionally—without any design knowledge. Use different hierarchy levels (e.g., H1, H2, H3) to organize content logically, introduce sections, or create thematic transitions.

Whether it’s a title for a new chapter, a subheading for better readability, or a specific focus point within a lesson: with clearly defined headings, you can guide your learners safely through the course and improve comprehensibility—especially for longer content.

Text block

The text block is the heart of your content—perfect for conveying knowledge in a compact, clear, and easy-to-read format. Whether you’re giving an introduction, explaining background information, or formulating work instructions, the text module allows you to get your message across precisely.

Thanks to clear formatting, bullet points, and highlighting, the text remains understandable and inviting even when dealing with complex topics. Combined with other modules, this creates a coherent learning flow that motivates rather than overwhelms. Ideal for theory sections, summaries, or contextual information.

Image

A good picture often says more than a thousand words – that’s why the image module is ideal for visually supporting content and adding emotional emphasis. Whether it’s a diagram, illustration, symbolic image, or photo, with just a few clicks you can integrate graphics that make your topic clearer and easier to understand.

The module supports various image sizes and placements, automatically adapts to different devices, and thus ensures optimal display—whether on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Perfect for visual examples, process illustrations, or simply to make your course more lively.

Direct access to the Pexels library

The integrated image search allows you to access thousands of high-quality, royalty-free images from Pexels free of charge and directly—without any external uploads. This means you can find suitable visuals in seconds without having to worry about usage rights.

Video

The video module allows you to incorporate movement into your course – in the truest sense of the word. Explanatory videos, tutorials, interviews, or personal messages can be quickly and effectively integrated, ensuring greater attention and emotional engagement.

Videos help convey complex content in an understandable way, demonstrate processes, or establish a personal connection with your learners—ideal for practical training, soft skills training, or executive communication.

Flexible integration – your own files or external platforms

You can easily upload your own videos directly to the course—ideal for internal content or customized recordings. Alternatively, videos from YouTube or Vimeo can be conveniently embedded via a link. This gives you flexibility in choosing your sources and allows you to combine the best of your own productions with existing media.

Document

With the document module, you can provide your learners with additional materials – easily and seamlessly. Whether PDF handouts, checklists, presentations, or additional worksheets: all common file formats can be uploaded directly and made available for download.
Ideal for in-depth content, accompanying documents, or tasks that should also be available offline. Your learners receive all the materials they need in one place—without external tools or separate emails.

Display PDF files directly in the course

In addition to the classic download option, you can also choose to display PDF files inline. This means they are embedded directly in the course and can be read without any detours – perfect for presentations, chapter summaries, or visual instructions.

Audio

The audio module gives your course a voice—literally. Whether spoken explanations, short instructions, interviews, or audio samples: audio files allow you to convey content on a whole new, personal level.

Audio is a practical and accessible addition to text and images, especially for target groups with little reading experience or in mobile learning situations (e.g., on the road, in the field). This makes it easier to explain complex topics or build emotional closeness—without additional screen focus.

Simply upload & play

You can upload your own audio files directly in the module. The integrated player interface ensures clear playback on all devices. Ideal for introductions, voice memos, explanatory pieces, or even multilingual content with original audio.

Learning

Single choice

With the single-choice module, you can test your learners’ understanding in a targeted manner—right in the course. One question, multiple answer options, only one is correct: ideal for short knowledge tests, reviews, or interactive reflections after a chapter.

Single-choice questions help consolidate what has been learned, motivate active engagement with the content, and provide immediate feedback. Right or wrong—your participants know immediately where they stand.

Didactically useful & intuitive to use

You determine the question, the options, and the feedback—e.g., an explanation of the correct answer. The module is quick to set up, optimized for mobile devices, and can be flexibly placed at various points in the course. Ideal for training courses, quizzes, or microlearning elements.

Multiple choice

The multiple-choice module allows you to test more complex knowledge, as there are several correct answers. This motivates learners to take a closer look, compare content, and understand connections. Ideal for in-depth questions, midterm exams, or reviewing several points within a topic.

Flexibly adjustable – clear feedback

You determine how many answers are correct, provide individual feedback if necessary, and thus specifically guide the learning process. Of course, the module is also fully usable on mobile devices and integrates seamlessly into your course—for an interactive learning experience with depth.

Single choice with image (single choice)

This module combines a classic single-choice question with visual stimuli—each answer option is represented by an image. Ideal for training courses where visual recognition, classification, or comparison plays a role—e.g., in product training, safety instructions, or language courses.

Learners make selections based on images, which increases attention, promotes cognitive diversity, and makes content more vivid.

Pictures say more than words – especially when learning

You can upload your own image for each answer option or select royalty-free images directly via the integrated Pexels search. This allows you to create interactive questions that not only test knowledge but also train visual memory—ideal for visually oriented target groups or mobile scenarios.

Multiple choice with image

This module combines classic multiple-choice questions with a visual component: each answer option is represented by an image—several of which may be correct. Perfect for learning content that focuses on visual recognition, classification, or comparison, e.g., in product training, occupational safety, or language training.
The combination of text and images makes learning more varied, vivid, and memorable.

Combine knowledge and perception

You decide which images and how many correct answers are displayed. Thanks to the integrated Pexels image search, you can quickly and easily access thousands of royalty-free images—or upload your own. Learners receive direct feedback and can visually check their knowledge—ideal for practical, interactive training scenarios.

True / False

Sometimes a simple decision is enough: is this true or not? With the true/false module, you can have statements checked for their accuracy. This is ideal for quick knowledge checks, repetition, or clearing up common misconceptions.
The clear, binary structure helps learners focus on the essentials—perfect for short bursts of learning, even between larger learning units.

Quick feedback – clear positioning

You provide a statement, and learners choose between “True” or “False” – and receive immediate feedback. The module is particularly well suited for reinforcing important facts, introducing a topic, or encouraging critical reflection. Of course, it works on all devices and blends in harmoniously with your course design.

Open question

The “Open Question” module gives your learners space for their own thoughts, individual answers, or creative ideas. Unlike multiple-choice formats, this is not about right or wrong—it’s about reflection, application, and personal engagement with the topic.
Ideal for soft skills training, feedback loops, transfer questions, or to activate your own examples and experiences.

Answers with depth – instead of just clicking

Learners freely enter their answers—in the form of a short text or longer statement. The answers can be saved or exported for evaluation (depending on the platform). This creates a more personalized learning process that also promotes complex thinking. Particularly effective in coaching scenarios, educational settings, or as self-reflection at the end of a module.

Cloze test

The cloze test module is a true classic in e-learning—and for good reason: it promotes active thinking, precision, and language comprehension. Learners fill in missing terms in a sentence or paragraph, thereby engaging more intensively with the content.
Ideal for language training, definitions, technical terms, or even for reviewing key information within a course.

Interactive learning with text comprehension

You decide which words should be missing—and how many. The gaps can be placed flexibly in the text, and learners receive immediate feedback on their entries. The module is ideal for activating what has been learned and, of course, also works on mobile devices. Whether beginner or advanced level: the cloze text adapts to your learning goal.

Contents

Section

The section module helps you structure your course. It serves as a thematic dividing line or content container in which you can logically group several pieces of content—e.g., a chapter, a topic block, or a learning objective.
This will not only make your course clearer visually, but also easier to follow didactically. Learners will know exactly where a topic begins, where it ends, and how the course is structured.

Think in a structured way – design in a modular way

A section can contain any number of modules and can be individually introduced with titles and descriptions. This makes navigation easier, especially for extensive courses, and helps learners to better orient themselves. Ideal for longer content, recurring chapter structures, or thematic transitions within the course.

Columns

With the columns module, you can design your course to be visually appealing and clearly laid out—without any design effort. You can place content side by side, e.g., text and image, video and question, two images in comparison, or several buttons. This creates clearly structured and modern layouts that make reading easier and provide variety.
The module is particularly helpful if you want to present related information in parallel or use space efficiently—ideal for visual learners.

Flexible layout for a better overview

Choose between one, two, or three columns, depending on how you want to structure your content. The columns automatically adapt to all devices and ensure an optimal user experience, even on mobile devices. Perfect for interactive courses with a clear design and professional look.

Spacer

Sometimes white space says more than a module. With spacers, you can deliberately place breaks and visual white space between your content. This provides clarity, improves readability, and helps to visually separate content—especially in long courses or dense blocks of information.
Well-placed spacing increases user-friendliness and makes the course much more pleasant to read—both on desktop and mobile devices.

Design with space and rhythm

You decide how much space you want to insert—e.g., between two chapters, before a new topic block, or after a video. The spacer works without any visible elements—but with a big effect on structure, clarity, and design quality.

Separator

The separator is more than just a line—it is a designed transition between sections. With various shape-based designs such as waves, slants, or curves, you can bring movement and visual depth to your course. This allows you to not only separate topic blocks, but also connect them aesthetically.
Especially for longer learning units or changing layouts, the separator provides visual orientation and a professional look.

Forms that fluidly connect content

Choose from several graphic separator shapes and place them flexibly between modules or chapters. The separators automatically adjust to the screen size and create smooth transitions without disrupting the flow of reading. Ideal for delimiting sections, introducing chapters, or linking content with style—without any design effort.
