The List is a resource type designed to better organize assignments that your learners need to complete in a more efficient way.
Why use a List in your courses?
It helps you to summarize important information presented throughout the course.
Lists reduce the likelihood of important steps or tasks getting overlooked and help your learners feel confident that they have completed their tasks
Lists facilitate the maintenance of consistency and best practices in a really easy and convenient way.
With Bulleted and Numbered layouts, you can also present ordered steps or grouped information without a completion checkbox, giving you more flexibility over how content is displayed.
How to add a List via the Interactive content block:
Open a content page of your course or add a new one.
Then, click More button, click on the Interactive block on the left panel and scroll down the menu.
Click on the List option or drag and drop it to the empty block on the page, all done! You can start editing the List as needed and build engaging content by adding text and media to it.
Note: By default, the number of items within the List is three, if you need to add more items to it, click on the + Add item option at the end of the List.
Choosing a layout
Once you've added a List block, you can switch between layouts at any time:
Hover over the List block and click the layout icon in the toolbar on the left, then select Change layout.
Choose from:
Checklist — items with checkboxes and a progress bar (the original layout).
Bulleted list — items displayed with bullet points, no checkboxes.
Numbered list — items displayed in sequential order.
You can reorder items at any time by dragging them. If you're using the Numbered list layout, the numbering will automatically adjust to match the new order.
Within the List, you can also easily change the order of the items, duplicate and/or delete them just by hovering over an item, and at the top left corner, you can select one of these three options.
Note: The text box within each list item (where you describe the item) can also have its own layout changed. Hover over the text box, then use the Change layout option to switch it between Text, Two columns, Three columns, or Quote. This lets you present each item's explanation differently as needed.
You can also duplicate or copy the List blocks into other courses:
Duplicate — creates a copy of the List block under the same List item.
Copy block to another course — lets you copy the List block into a different page within the same course or into another course. Select the destination course from the dropdown, choose the target page, and click Copy.
How does it look on the learner’s side?
For the Checklist layout, the learner will be able to see the progress bar of the checklist at the top of the block. Once the user ticks an item, the progress will be updated accordingly.
Note: The progress is saved for the learner during the current session only.
Since the Checklist layout is design to assist the learner in real-time and give them easy-to-read manuals, rather than evaluate their knowledge, this feature does not include results tracking. The Bulleted list and Numbered list layouts are for presenting information and don't include a progress bar or completion tracking.
Important:
Please note that the List content block is not supported in the course introduction.
