Conversational courses combine group process with AI to deliver interactive self paced learning experiences that surface the insight and understanding of your participants. With a conversational course, you can sequence content in a way that requires participants to respond to each section before they can move on to the next one. Our AI engine automatically highlights the best responses and engages participants through email to optimize for course completion.
You can choose to create your conversational course directly from the main page, or add sub spaces and divide it by modules/sections.
To start, go to your dashboard and create a top level space:
To add sub spaces, click on Edit page button on the top menu, put the cursor on the empty line and click on one of the Add space shortcuts:
You can use the Collapsable section block to add additional details of what participants can expect from the course in a way that won't take up too much space on your page.
1) In the edit mode, put the cursor on the empty line below the content, click on Add block (+ icon), scroll down to the Special section and select Collapsable section:
2) Add your title and description and click on Create collapsable section:
TIP: Enable the Default opened option so that the description text is automatically visible for the participants
This is what it will look like when finished and participants can minimize it by clicking the small arrow ˆ.
To enhance the interactive experience, you can add Continue buttons along the course which the participants will need to click on to move forward to the next piece of content.
1) In the edit mode, put the cursor on the empty line below the content, click on Add block (+ icon), in the Interactive section, select Continue button
2) Select the button and click on the Settings icon
3) Change the button text and alignment
TIP: In addition to the alignment, you can also explore other settings such as button corners, width, and colors. If you have a color theme preset, the buttons will be created following those colors, but you can also change the button color individually on each section if desired.
Conversational courses can be created using pre-recorded video, audio, images or any other media that you want.
