Getting Started with Step Types

Welcome to the Step Type Toolkit—your guide to building better microlearning experiences in LemonadeLXP.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

🔗 Looking for the full toolkit?
Browse the complete Designing Effective Step Types Collection to explore best practices for every Step type—video, reference, and active recall.


LemonadeLXP’s Steps are built on the science of game-based microlearning and multi-modal learning. They are designed to help people remember what they learn, not just pass a test.

Rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all modules, Steps break learning into short, focused bursts that fit into the flow of work. When you combine video, reference materials, and interactive recall, you create sticky learning moments that fight the forgetting curve and reinforce knowledge in powerful ways.


🧠 A Quick Reminder

LemonadeLXP isn’t about testing—it’s about remembering.
Every Step type is designed to support recall, not assess performance.

This collection breaks down every Step type, offering tips, best practices, and design guidance so you can create content that reinforces learning and keeps your learners coming back.


What You’ll Find Here

Each article covers a different category of Step types:

  • Video Steps – For introducing or explaining ideas visually

  • Reference Steps – For supporting material and downloadable resources

  • Active Recall Steps – For reinforcing knowledge through interaction

🧠 Reminder: LemonadeLXP isn’t about testing—it’s about remembering. Every Step type is designed to support recall, not assess performance.
