Introduction
The Creator lesson is a dynamic interactive lesson format designed to help you learn actively. It can include multimedia content, activities, AI roleplay scenarios and assessments.
Attending a Creator lesson
Access the course and click on the title of the Creator lesson in the Syllabus area. You can identify Creator lessons in the list of lessons by checking the text under the lesson title, which shows the lesson type.
To navigate the lesson you can use the outline on the left side of the page to select the desired screen, or use the Previous screen and Next screen buttons at the bottom. Depending on how your administrator configured the lesson, you may need to complete each screen before you can move to the next one. In this case, upcoming screens appear as locked in the outline until the previous ones are completed.
When you have completed the last screen, click Complete lesson to move on to the next lesson or to complete the course, if it is the last one.
The Creator lesson may contain different types of content, such as text, images, videos, and interactive elements. Let’s see how you can interact with each of them.
Listening to audio narration
If the lesson includes audio narration, click Play audio in the lesson header to start it. Depending on the lesson settings, narration may start automatically when the lesson opens.
From the player bar you can:
- Click the play/pause button to start or stop playback.
- Click the skip back and skip forward buttons to move backward or forward in the narration.
- Click the volume icon to mute or unmute the audio.
- Click the gear icon to adjust playback speed or view keyboard shortcuts.
When you reach an assessment screen, the audio pauses automatically and resumes once you have completed the assessment.
To stop the narration and hide the player, click Exit audio in the player bar or in the lesson header.
Completing activities
Activities are questions meant to increase your engagement with the lesson and to check your understanding of specific concepts.
There can be different type of activities:
- Multiple choice: select all the answers that apply
- Single choice: select the only correct answer
- True or false: select the correct option
- Fill in the blank: insert the missing word or phrase
- Matching pairs: drag and drop the items on the right to join them with the correct ones on the left.
After giving your answer, press the Submit button.
Depending on the configuration, there could be a maximum number of attempts and a score for each activity. The attempts left will be visible on the activity card. To see the possible score associated with the activity, you need to complete it first. Activities can be mandatory or optional depending on your administrator’s configuration. If they are mandatory, you will not be able to complete the lesson without completing them.
Using flashcards
Flashcards are short, interactive cards designed to help you review key concepts from the lesson and reinforce your knowledge.
Each flashcard has two sides: one shows a question or a prompt, and the other displays the correct answer or explanation. To flip the flashcards, press the circular arrow button (Flip) at the bottom of each card.
Flashcards are not graded, and you can flip them as many times as you need.
Using accordions
Accordions present content organized into expandable sections, letting you focus on one topic at a time.
To expand a section, click on the arrow icon in the corresponding row. The content will appear below. Click on the arrow again to collapse it, or directly move to the next section.
Accordions are not graded, and you can open and close them as many times as you need.
Exploring hotspots
Hotspots are interactive points placed on an image that you can click to discover additional content related to specific areas of the image.
When you see a hotspot activity, numbered markers will appear on the image. Click on a marker to open a card showing its title, description, and any associated media. Use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the card to navigate to the previous or next hotspot. To close the card, click the X button.
Hotspots are not graded, and you can click on them as many times as you need.
Playing games
Creator lessons may include games designed to help you review key concepts, practice what you have learned, or test your skills through interactive challenges.
When you reach a game in a Creator lesson, start it from the lesson screen. You may first see a tutorial explaining the rules before the first challenge begins. Use the navigation buttons in the tutorial to read the instructions, then start playing.
Games can include different types of challenges:
- Scenario: read a situation and choose the best answer.
- Crossword: complete words based on clues.
- True or false: decide whether a statement is correct or incorrect.
- Sorting: place items in the correct order.
- Wording: identify the correct word based on the question.
- Squares: find a term by interacting with letters in a grid.
- Guess the word: identify the correct answer based on a clue or question.
While playing, follow the instructions shown on screen. Depending on how the game was configured, you may have a timer, remaining lives, music, or sound playing during the game.
Click the menu icon in the top right corner of the game to open the pause window. From there, you can resume the game or control the audio.
Reading documents
Documents are materials provided in PDF format to support your learning. When you see a document in a Creator lesson, click Read document to open it.
Once inside the document viewer, you can:
- Press the image icon (Show thumbnails) or the list icon (Show outline) to view small previews of each page or to open the document’s table of contents
- Press the minus icon (Zoom out) or the plus icon (Zoom in) to adjust the zoom level or select a zoom option from the dropdown menu in the header
- Press the magnifying glass icon (Search) to find words or phrases within the document
- Press the down arrow icon (Download) to save a copy of the document if allowed by your administrator
- Press the printer icon (Print) to print the document if allowed
- Press the ellipsis icon (Scroll options) to customize the scrolling mode (vertical or horizontal).
Scroll through the pages to read the full content of the document, then press the Back to lesson button at the bottom of the page. Like activities, documents can be mandatory or optional.
Practicing with AI roleplay scenarios
AI roleplay scenarios let you practice real-world conversations in a safe, simulated environment. You will interact with a virtual avatar powered by artificial intelligence, either by speaking or by typing in a chat window.
When you start the scenario, you’ll see an introduction card showing the scenario title and a short description. The card also displays the number of attempts configured and optionally a time limit for the scenario. Click on Start scenario to access the scenario setup page.
In the setup page, depending on the administrator configuration, you may be able to choose whether to start a voice conversation or a chat simulation. If the video option is enabled, you can choose which camera and microphone you will use. You can optionally switch off the camera but not the microphone in voice scenarios.
To start the scenario, click on Start the conversation. If both voice and chat modes are available, you can switch to chat by pressing Chat mode.
During the scenario:
- Speak to the AI avatar if the scenario is in voice mode, or type your messages if it is in chat mode
- The avatar will reply in real time, using a natural, human-like voice or text
- You can restart at any time by using the circular arrow button (Restart) at the bottom of the page
- In voice scenarios, you can pause the conversation or switch to chat at any time by using the corresponding buttons at the bottom of the page.
Once you are done with the scenario, press the End scenario button. After completion, you will receive an AI-generated feedback report that summarizes your performance. Learn more about how reports are generated and structured. If the simulation is too short, the system may not have enough information to generate a complete report.
After completing the scenario, you will land on a summary page. If this is your first attempt, click See your report to open the feedback page, or Retake scenario to try again immediately.
If you have already completed the scenario before, this page also shows a list of your previous reports. Click View report in the row of the report you want to open, or select Retake scenario to start a new simulation.
From the summary page, you can also provide feedback on your experience with the scenario. In the section Did this scenario meet your expectations?, use the thumbs up (Yes) or thumbs down (No) icons to provide positive or negative feedback. If you give negative feedback, you will be able to select a reason for it from the list or to write your own explanation in the pop-up window. This feedback is anonymous and helps Docebo understand how useful or realistic the scenario was. Your comments do not affect your score or the AI-generated report.
The report and your conversation recording or transcript are visible only to you and are not shared with your manager or administrator at this time.
If the scenario is mandatory, you must complete it before you can finish the lesson.
