This article discusses how to build the curriculum under your course. You can create as many lessons/modules as you want as long as they are within the course dates and you can tailor them based on your needs. We will discuss the steps below.
If you are not directed to the Curriculum page, start by clicking on Curriculum, then click on Edit.
1. Creating the Lesson
Let us begin by filling in the following field:
Lesson Name. Give a descriptive name to the lesson.
Lesson Description. Add the lesson’s details such as topics covered and how it is structured and what to expect during the lesson.
Module Dates. When are the modules available and for how long can be set up here, selecting a start and end date or run continuously.
Continuous. It is possible to insert new elements or activities within the lesson while ongoing.
Scheduled. The lesson is only available from the scheduled start and end date.
Notification Reminder. Set a notification reminder to be sent via email.

2. Adding Elements.
Click on (+) Add Element on the left side of the screen. Currently, we have eleven (11) elements that we can utilize to maximize the learning experience. Let’s check their features and how to build them below:
(See screenshot below)
1. Zoom Meeting. Add Zoom as a video conferencing tool to have live sessions with participants. The sessions can also be recorded for those who could not attend.
2. Video. Upload a video file or embed an online video from YouTube. Create a lesson with a pre-recorded video. This element is perfect for creating an asynchronous video lesson.
3. Meeting Link. Add any video conferencing tool you choose to have live sessions with participants. The sessions can also be recorded for those who could not attend.
4. Content. Upload textual content with images and attach any file. This element is perfect for creating a textual lesson, giving your learners the chance to study documents and files.
5. Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). Upload your SCORM file and run it inside Teachfloor. With this element, you can easily create a lesson based on your SCORM file. Your participants will be able to view and interact with the content of the SCORM file.
6. Embed. Paste an embed code from your favorite app into your course. Participants will be able to view and interact directly with the third-party apps on Teachfloor.
7. Multiple Choice Quiz. Create a quiz in minutes and interactively test people's knowledge. Evaluate participants' learning with a quiz at the end of your session.
8. Poll. Create a multiple-question survey. The survey activity is a smart way to get open, honest feedback you probably wouldn't otherwise get. Allowing learners to share their opinions will help keep your course on the road to success.
9. Submission. Create a participant task in minutes. Allow participants to submit any text, files, and links.
10. Instructor Review with Rubric: Instructors evaluate submissions using rubrics, providing consistent, detailed feedback for learner improvement.
11. Instructor Review with Chat: Instructors provide real-time feedback via chat, ensuring quick, personalized guidance for learners.
12. Peer Review. Allow participants to submit any text, files, and links. To complete this task, participants must review their peers' submissions.
13. Tags. For various reasons, it works like stickers that help you see differences between students. You might use them to assign different jobs to students during group work or activities.
14. Self Review. Allow learners to reflect on their submissions. It can be fully creative or you can also create rubric questions.
15. Feedback Reflection. Allow learners to check and comment on their peers' submissions using a set of guidelines that you can set.
16. Scoring: Assign scores to activities. Customize weight, set thresholds, and track learner performance throughout the course.
17. File: Easily upload files (PDF, audio, CSV) to create engaging lessons. Participants can access content directly.
18. Checklist: Use checklists to track tasks and progress. Participants mark items off as they complete activities in the course.
19. Certificate: Generate custom certificates. Set prerequisites to ensure learners meet the requirements before receiving recognition.
20. Discussion: Add a Discussion Board to encourage learners to post topics and comments, fostering engagement and a sense of community in your course.
21. Group Formation: Enable learners to form or join groups for collaborative projects and team-based activities.
22. Group Submission: Allow participants to collaborate and submit work as a group. This feature integrates with group formation activities.
23. Form: Design custom forms for assessments, submissions, or feedback. Include open-ended, multiple-choice, or rating questions.
24. Submission & Peer Discussion: Participants submit work and review peer submissions. A chat feature enhances discussions and real-time feedback.
