Design course activities

Choose explanation, video, chat, canvas, and exercise stages for a coherent learner journey.

Updated 22 September 2026

Open a course workspace and organise the course into modules and stages. Use the
stage type that matches the learner action you need:

  • Explanation introduces concepts, instructions, or reference material.

  • Video places supported media in the learning sequence.

  • Chat guides a learner through an AI conversation.

  • Canvas or document work supports structured drafting and revision.

  • Evaluated exercises check a response against the activity requirements.

Write one clear outcome for each stage. Tell learners what to submit, what safe data
practice requires, and what completion looks like. Select Test after structural
or instruction changes; the editor view is not a substitute for the learner view.

Before submitting for review, check stage order, required completion rules, links,
media, and the instructions used by AI activities.

Check the workspace and walkthroughs

The editable workspace follows the learner's layout: narrow Chat previews switch
between Instructions and Chat, while Canvas previews also include a Canvas tab.
Preview tool labels reflect the tools enabled in the stage. These controls show
the layout; use Test to try the real player and its guided walkthroughs.

In Stage Settings, Required stage is enabled by default. Turn it off for
optional material that should not count toward required course completion.

Authored explanation sections are course content. The introductory Chat, Canvas,
and video walkthroughs are provided by the platform. Test replays those
walkthroughs so you can check them alongside your content.
