Lesson Types

Lesson Types

Text lesson

If you want to create lessons for topics that are text-intensive or want to take a traditional approach for training, you can create lessons with text type. The text editor supports a wide range of options to help create well-formatted lessons.

  1. Navigate to the course, then go to the Lessons tab.
  2. Click the Add Content button on the lesson.
  3. Select Text and enter your lesson content in the editor. 

Video lesson

Combining audio and visual aid to create lessons is a great way to build engaging courses for your learners. In Zoho Learn, you can upload videos from your device or embed YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion videos in your lessons.

Block lesson

If you want to mix different types of content in a single lesson, you can use blocks. Block lesson type helps you create a combination of text, list, audio, video, image, document, and process content types. For example, if you want to add content for an introduction to your company, you can build a lesson by including all elements like text, video, images, etc.
