Page Types and How to Use Them

Learn about the different page types in AI course builder, how to create and manage them, and when to use each to build engaging, effective courses.

When building courses in AI course builder, the type of page you choose has an impact on how learners experience the content. Each page type serves a different purpose, from presenting text to prompting interaction. By understanding the options available, you can create courses that are not only clear but also dynamic and engaging.

This guide introduces the different page types, explains how to create and manage them, and highlights when each type is most useful in a training context.

Creating and Managing Pages

To add a new page in the editor, click New Page in the left sidebar. This opens the full menu of page types available, including text, question, multimedia, and interactive options.

When you select a page type, AI course builder automatically populates the page with the corresponding tiles. If you click the plus (+) button instead, a blank page is added within the current section so you can build your own layout from scratch.

From the New Page menu, you can also add a Section Divider to break up content into logical parts, or insert one of your Saved Page Templates for consistency across courses. Any page can be saved as a template by clicking the kebab menu (three dots) in the top right of the page and selecting Create Page Template.

The kebab menu on each page also provides quick management actions:

• Copy/Paste: Duplicate a page and even paste it into a different course.
• Duplicate: Create a copy of the page within the same course.
• Delete: Remove the page entirely.
• Make Section Divider: Convert an existing page into a divider for cleaner organisation.

📌 Tip: Copy and paste actions work across courses, making it easy to reuse content in different contexts without starting from scratch.

Text Pages

Text pages are the foundation for delivering written content. Options include:

• Header and Paragraph: Combines a title with body text for clear communication.
• Header: Useful for section titles or transitions.
• Paragraph: Ideal for explanatory content without a heading.

Text pages are best when you need to introduce concepts, provide explanations, or summarise learning points. For example, in a compliance training course, a text page might outline the purpose of the policy before moving into an assessment.

📌 Tip: You can combine text tiles with background images to create bold "hero" sections. This is highly effective for opening pages or introducing new chapters.

Question Pages

Question pages allow you to check learner understanding and reinforce key ideas. Available formats include:

• Multiple Choice
• Select Multiple
• Short Answer
• Matching

These options let you vary your assessment methods. A short-answer question tile works well for reflection prompts, while a matching tile can test knowledge of terms and definitions. Incorporating questions throughout a course keeps learners engaged and ensures they are actively processing the material.

📌 Tip: Write questions that target applied knowledge rather than basic recall. For example, use a multiple-choice question to ask what a learner would do in a specific real-world scenario rather than asking them to simply define a term.

Did you know?

• You can create standalone assessments by building courses with only question pages.
• You can manage grading options and analytics for these pages directly in the course settings

Multimedia Pages

Multimedia pages let you bring courses to life with visuals and external resources:

• Video: Embed videos directly into the course to illustrate a concept or provide demonstrations.
• Embed: Add external content like YouTube videos, Google Docs, or other iframe-supported resources.
• Link: Provide access to external articles, resources, or policy documents via a button tile.

For example, in a leadership training course, you could embed a short video of a team meeting to highlight communication techniques, followed by reflection questions on the next page.

Interactive Pages

Interactive pages add an element of active learning, encouraging users to participate rather than just consume information. Options include:

• Flashcards: Perfect for memorisation and rapid recall activities.
• Accordion: Organise content into expandable sections for a cleaner presentation.
• Hot Button: Allow learners to click on specific areas of an image for deeper exploration.
• Sorting: Let learners categorise information by dragging and dropping items.

For example, in a product training course, a hot button tile might let learners click on different parts of a software dashboard to learn what each function does.

📌 Tip: Always teach before you test. Place your interactive and question pages after the text or multimedia pages that cover the relevant concepts.

Section Dividers and Templates

As courses grow, it helps to break content into sections. Section dividers act as markers, creating a visual breather and helping learners navigate longer courses.

For teams building multiple courses with a similar structure, saved page templates ensure consistency. You might create a “Policy Introduction” template with a header, text tile, and video tile so that every policy course has the exact same opening format.

Key Takeaways

• Use text pages for explanations and summaries.
• Add question pages to keep learners engaged and measure comprehension.
• Incorporate multimedia pages to provide visual and external resources.
• Build interactive pages to deepen engagement through active learning.
• Rely on section dividers and templates for structure and consistency.

By choosing the right page types, you can design courses that are clear, engaging, and effective—making the learning experience more impactful for your audience.
