Skip to main content
Interactive content gives you a more flexible way to build learning moments inside a Skillsail module. It works alongside structured slides, questions, media, translations, sharing, and exports. Use it when you want the learner to do something more open-ended than read a slide. You can describe the experience you want, and Skillsail can create a self-contained activity for the module.

​
When to use it

  • A quick learning game
  • A flash-card activity
  • A branching scenario
  • A checklist or decision aid
  • A sorting or matching exercise
  • A simulation-style practice moment
  • A guided exploration of a process, policy, product, or concept

​
Example prompts

  • Create a simple phishing detection game with three realistic messages.
  • Build a flash-card activity that helps learners remember the main kite surfing kite types.
  • Make a branching scenario where a manager practices responding to an employee concern.
  • Create a product knowledge practice activity for comparing three subscription plans.

​
How it fits with slides and questions

Slides are still useful for structured explanation, media, and storytelling. Questions are still useful when you want a clear quiz-style check or scored assessment. Interactive content is best when you want a more flexible practice moment. It can sit before or after slides and questions, or be used as the main experience in a short module.

​
Good practices

  • Tell Skillsail what the learner should practice, not just what the content should say.
  • Keep the activity focused on one clear moment or decision.
  • Ask for a simple version first, then refine the wording or behavior.
  • Use questions when you need formal quiz behavior, scoring, or assessment-style reporting.
