Blocks Lessons

Use blocks to create custom lessons. Blocks are components you stack to create unique lessons that look gorgeous on every device, in every orientation. Add text, statement, quote, and list blocks to tell a story. Build media-rich learning experiences with image, gallery, and multimedia blocks. Create lean-forward learning moments with interactive blocks. And share blocks with your team using block templates.

Simplified Lesson Selector

Pre-built lessons are now available as blocks, so we’ve retired pre-built lessons and simplified the lesson selector. When you create a lesson, simply choose a block lesson or a quiz.

Convert Prebuilt Lessons to Block Lessons

Convert prebuilt lessons, such as labeled graphics and timelines, into blocks. Then you can add more blocks to the lesson.
