Lecture types

A piece of modular content (Wizard) is assembled lecture by lecture, from a fixed set of types the editor offers. This guide lists each one, grouped as it appears in the picker, with a short description and a link to the full guide.

Note

This is different from content type (Wizard, SCORM 1.2 or Coursebox), which describes how the whole content item was built - see Content types. The lecture types below only exist inside a Wizard content item.

In the modular content editor, click Add new lecture to this topic to open the picker, split into these three sections.

Content

• Text - Formatted text, with headings, bold, lists, links and images, in the lecture’s central column. The default for explaining theory, instructions, or the context before another lecture.
• Bubbles - An alternating speech-bubble dialogue, each line with a photo beside it - to simulate a conversation, a support exchange, or a case study.
• Image - A large image in the lecture’s central area, with an optional caption - for an infographic, a map, or a diagram.
• Document - A PDF displayed in a tall, page-shaped frame, without leaving the lecture.
• Flip book - The same file type as Document, but presented as a book, with pages the participant turns.
• FAQ - A list of questions with the answer right below each one, all visible at the same time.

Media and integrations

• Integrated video / Vimeo - Video you upload right in the editor; Eduvem handles the conversion and hosting.
• YouTube video - A video already published on YouTube, embedded by its link - without using the institution’s storage.
• Audio - An audio track with a cover image and an overlaid player - a podcast, an interview, or narration.
• Iframe - Any external page embedded full screen, with no header - a 3D project, a simulator, or an interactive map.
• PliQ - An interactive survey built in the PliQ tool, filling most of the lecture.
• Live class - A live meeting - Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom or an external URL - started from inside the content. The lecture type is available in every institution; Teams, Meet and Zoom each need their own setup.
• Social Media - The institution’s social network feed, full screen, inside the content.

Note

PliQ and Social Media stay hidden from the picker until the Eduvem support team enables them for the institution. If either one is missing, contact Eduvem support.

Evaluation

• Assignment - A prompt the participant answers by submitting a file, a text, or both - graded by a tutor, with a score and a comment.
• Learning Exercise - Questions with immediate feedback and no score attached - the participant can try again until they get it right.
• Open Questions - Open-ended questions answered in free text and graded by a tutor.
• Final Exam - The exam that decides approval on the content, with a timer, a minimum score, and attempt limits.
