How to Add Step & Accordion Blocks

 

ProProfs Training Maker lets you add interactive information blocks in your course to break the monotony and enhance learners' course-taking experience.

In this article, we’ll learn about two such information blocks - “Step” and “Accordion.

 

1. Step Block

The “Step” block lets you add information as slides. You may use this block type to explain the steps to accomplish something. The learner clicks the ("<"     ">") to move between the slides.


2. Accordion Block
The “Accordion” block stacks learning content on top of each other, saving you screen space with show/hide (+-) icons to click to reveal. The learner expands an accordion to reveal information.
