Our Product team is happy to announce Flex Slide updates to support you and your goals. This unlocks more capabilities for you to author and edit courses, makes the user experience more pleasant, and streamlines your process of regular course content refreshes.  

An inside look into Flex Slide technology

When you upgrade your legacy slides to Flex Slide, you’ll see a more seamless and intuitive way to customize your adaptive course content.

Here are some of the things you’ll enjoy thanks to recent updates:

1. The Visual Editor: See your changes in real-time as you edit, making course design faster and more efficient.
2. Templates: Choose from pre-designed templates or create your own custom templates for consistent branding and faster course creation.
3. Blocks: Combine text, images, videos, interactions, and more to build engaging and dynamic course content.
4. Enhanced user experience: Our signature no-experience-required interface, made even better.

The Visual Editor

Flex Slide technology shows a live preview that renders changes each time you make an edit.

The visual editor and Flex Slide technology also open up a few more improvements to the user experience:

• Copy/paste between Flex Slides: Duplicate a Section, Block, or Layered Assets from one Flex Slide to another
• Styling controls: Stylize Borders and Shadows
• Animations for Sections and Blocks: Control how these appear and move

The easier it is for you to customize your courses, the more tailored your training program will be!

Section Templates

Blocks

One of the standout features of Flex Slide is its ability to integrate multiple types of blocks within a section, offering unparalleled flexibility when designing engaging and interactive compliance courses. Blocks are a fundamental building element in Flex Slide, empowering course authors to structure and deliver information in dynamic and engaging ways.

By using blocks, you can create course content that caters to different learning preferences and engagement levels, making it easier to design courses that truly resonate with your audience. Here’s a breakdown of the types of blocks available in Flex Slide:

• Simple Content: Great for delivering text and images in a clean, straightforward format.
• Button: Perfect for driving user actions and directing employees beyond the course to your policies and other guidance.
• Click to Reveal: Encourages interaction by allowing learners to click to uncover hidden content.
• Floating Box: Overlay key points or callouts on the screen without disrupting the flow of the course.
• Carousel: Show a series of images or pieces of content that learners can swipe through.
• Break It Down: Simplify complex topics by breaking them into smaller, digestible pieces.
• Conversation Thread: Introduce simulated conversations or discussions to mirror real-life scenarios.
• Video: Embed video content seamlessly into the course for richer multimedia experiences.

With these blocks, Flex Slide offers immense versatility in course design. Whether you’re looking to craft a simple, clean layout or a highly interactive, multimedia-rich experience, the variety of blocks at your disposal makes it easy to tailor the course to your audience’s needs.

We also introduced two brand-new blocks designed to create a more interactive and engaging experience for your learners.

• Accordion: Organize information in a way that allows learners to expand and collapse sections as they navigate through the content.

• Speech Bubble: Add conversational elements or emphasize quotes in an informal, engaging way.
