Content blocks

Content is not a question. It is a block you put between questions to give students what they need: instructions, a reading passage, a worked example, an image or a video. Students read or watch it; there is nothing to answer.

Add a content block

1. 1

   Choose Content

   In the editor, click Add a question or content and choose Content.

2. 2

   Write the text

   Type in the box that says Reading passage, instructions, worked example…. Line breaks are kept as you type them.

3. 3

   Add an image (optional)

   Click Add image to upload a picture, such as a chart or a page of a book.

4. 4

   Add a video (optional)

   Paste a link in YouTube link (optional).

5. 5

   Place it

   Drag the block, or use the arrows, to put it just before the questions it belongs to.

What students see

Students see the text, then the image, then the video. A YouTube link plays inside the page; other video links show an Open video link instead.

Content blocks have no number, no points and no answer box, so question numbers skip over them. When One question at a time is on, each block is its own page, marked as instructions in the question list. When Shuffle questions is on, the questions are shuffled but content blocks keep their place.
