Module Builder
Your builders
A builder is a library of its own. Make one for a course, a rotation, or a topic, give it a color and an icon, lock it with a password if you like, then open it to work on its builds.

Each build is saved by its title. Open one to keep working, or start a new build on one of the four paths.
All four use the same authoring tools. They differ in how learners move through the module and in the starting layout.

Path: Sectioned Lesson. The title is how this version is saved and found again.
The tutor opens to a menu of cases. Each case has a vignette on the left and steps on the right. Name each case and choose how it behaves. You can add, rename, or change cases later.
Guided gives feedback as you go with tutor notes. Quiz gives immediate feedback and a score. Advanced holds feedback until the card is finished. Other is a generic section you name yourself.
For matching, fill the left item and the item it pairs with. Otherwise mark the correct option(s).
Linking a hosted PDF adds no size. Uploading embeds the file in the page (counts toward the 2 MB ceiling).
Add a single image, or a gallery of equal-size tiles that fit the page. Pick a layout, then choose your image files.
Flashcards flip from a prompt to an answer. Tabs let learners switch between related panels.
Upload an image, then click on it to drop a marker. Each marker holds a short label (up to 20 words) that a learner reveals by clicking the marker. A Reset button lets the learner hide all the labels again while the markers stay in place.
While you place them, markers appear as numbered dots so you can see their order. The shape and color you chose above show once you insert the image.
Paste a web address straight into the page and it becomes a link automatically. Right-click any link to edit or remove it.
The video shows a poster and loads only when a learner clicks it. No trackers until then.
Upload a GIF file, or paste a direct link whose address ends in .gif. Giphy and Imgur page links are converted for you; for Tenor, right-click the GIF and choose Copy image address. Animation is kept as-is. A GIF up to 15 MB embeds on this device and in your exported files; anything over 2 MB will not cloud-sync. Note that copying a GIF straight from a web page usually flattens it to a still, so upload the file or paste its link to keep it moving.
After inserting a GIF, use its Edit control to reopen this window and change the size, swap in a new file, or paste a different link. When you edit an uploaded GIF the link box stays empty; change the size, or use Upload to swap the file.
Embed an external page or tool by its link. Set the height to match the content: a Qualtrics or Google form usually needs about 520 to 680 pixels. If a tall empty band shows below the content, the height is larger than the page inside, so lower it. You can reopen any embed later with its Edit control to change the link or height. Some sites block being framed; if it stays blank, link to it instead.
Set the accent that colors headings, buttons, and rules, and the look of the header banner.

An optional cover the learner sees first. They tap the button to enter the module. The module title is used as the heading.
Publishing sends your whole library to the shared server, so it is available on any device and to other faculty who open this page. Pulling replaces your local builds with the shared copy. The server holds one library, capped at 2 MB, so embedded images count toward the limit.
Publish to the shared server to update the live site for everyone. The download options are standalone files: web publish and test-out are plain HTML you host or open directly, and cmi5 is for the LMS.
Credit comes from the Final Quiz. A learner who scores at or above this percent is reported to the LMS as passed and completed, so the LMS awards credit; below it they are reported as failed and can retake the quiz. The package marks the activity moveOn equals Passed with this number as its mastery score, so the LMS uses the same bar. This path needs a Final Quiz in the module.
