Content Templates

We at Cerego want to make learning simple and effective, therefore we have provided a series of templates for you to make your content easy to organize and enjoyable for your Learners.

Teach and Instruct (Informational & Instructional)

Teach and instruct items  present key concepts to Learners. This is best used for providing information to be presented but not practiced. These instructional pages are not graded nor do they show up in the learner's Knowledge Bank. Utilize these templates for instructional and informational pages for the Learners  while they work through the Cerego Learning Set, Assessment or Survey.

Build Questions (Application & Mastery)

Building Questions is the bread and butter of Cerego. Here is where you can assess a Learner’s understanding of material presented in Teach and Instruct items. Building Questions also allows Learners to practice applying the knowledge they’ve learned with Diagrams or Sequences. Add rich explanations and remediation to support problem solving and encourage your Learners to engage more deeply with the content.

• Q&A 
• Sequences
• Diagrams

Questions & Answers (Q&A)

Ready to start building memories? Let’s create Questions & Answers! 

Question and Answers are the foundation of building and retaining memories. These sets of questions can be composed of essential facts, terminology, and foundational principles that you’d like Learners to practice over time.

Question and Answer Template allows you to: 

• Add Images: Customize your questions by adding optional photos to enhance the depth of the question or to better showcase the topic.
• Add Sound: Have recordings of actual scenarios? Add them here! Listening and answering questions are also a great way to challenge your Learners application skills.
• Apply Graduated Difficulty: As the Learner progresses through the set, enabling Graduated Difficulty will allow the questions to become more difficult to the Learner, while maintaining key concepts.

Question & Answer Template

Smart Answers

Stumped on filling in Distractor answers, let Cerego fill them for you with Smart Answers. 

• Select a Smart Answer Distractor by clicking on the +  icon.
• Learn more about Smart Answers

Q&A in "Preview Mode"

Preview Mode allows you to view all Questions and Answers in your Learning Set.

• Show Answers ON to ensure the correct answer has been selected
• Show Answers OFF to view what the Learner will see

PROTIP: 

Q&A Explanations: Explanations are OPTIONAL

Your Learners will see the correct answer along with its explanation regardless of what answer has been selected.

Food for thought: For each answer, think about explaining why the Correct Answer should’ve been selected and why the Distractor/Incorrect Answer is wrong. 

Example:

Sequences

Apply knowledge by asking process, order, or timeline based questions using the Sequence template!

Sequences are best utilized for having Learners list chronological events, order of operations, or even sample sequences in a sentence.  

Some examples of content that would work great as Sequence are:

• Chronological Timeline of Events
• Math Sequences
• Scenario Based Actions
• Order of Operations

PROTIP: 

The first time a Learner sees the Sequence, only ONE step will be out of order. After they have answered correctly, all steps will be out of order for all future reviews.

Diagrams

Want your Learners to identify HotSpots of an image or illustration? Create a Diagram! 

Diagrams are image-based items in which learners select a portion of an image to answer a question. Diagrams are a great tool for teaching visual identification and part-to-whole relationships. 

Some examples of things that work great as Diagram items are:

• Anatomical images
• Diagrams
• Charts

Let’s start identifying HotSpots! 

1. Select a Base Image you would like your series of questions to be based on. You will be able to choose to upload from the following:
   • Upload and Image from your Computer
   • Image with URL
   • Search for Image on Flickr

2. Once you have selected your Base Image, now comes the fun part. Start to generate a series of questions based on the Base Image you have provided. For each question, select a HotSpot by using the Draw, Ellipse or Rectangle Tool.

Draw Tool: Create a series of points around the Region you would like to highlight.

• Once you have selected the Region, close the section by clicking the first point you created. 
• Your Learners will be able to select a HotSpot within that region to select the correct answer.
• •  

Ellipse Tool: Select a more circular region using the ellipse tool. 

•  
• Once you have selected the Region, feel free to move the points to better capture the Region of choice.

Rectangle Tool: Select a square or rectangular Region using the Rectangle Tool. 

• Similar to the Draw and Ellipse Tools, feel free to move the four points to better capture the highlighted Region.
