Course Options and Guidelines
May include brief activities or quizzes (see the article Workbook & Activity Feature Overview for a current list).

Course Templates & Examples
TB 01. Text-only progression through a topic
This template walks the student through a series of text-based lessons in one or more modules. This format shares similarities with a textbook or blog, with more interactivity than the former and more focus than the latter.
Examples
TB 02. Text-based with embedded videos
This template uses the text-based structure of TB 01 with the addition of one or more embedded videos that add instruction or demos. Embedded videos follow the templates outlined for Single-Video Courses.
