How to Add Text & Media Blocks as Sections
ProProfs Training Maker lets you build visually rich training content using text and media blocks. You can combine video, audio, images, and text to structure lessons the way your learners absorb them best—without needing external tools or technical skills.
This is especially helpful for users who:
-
Are transitioning from static presentations or manuals.
-
Need to deliver multi-format training (e.g., compliance, onboarding, skill-building).
-
Want to embed videos or add context-rich text without breaking course flow.
Here’s a training course preview with media & text blocks:
Why this matters
-
Engagement: Mixing text and media helps keep users focused, especially in self-paced learning.
-
Clarity: Complex topics can be explained better using side-by-side visuals and supporting text.
-
Scalability: Organize content using sections and reuse formats easily across modules.
