First, let's get to the right place! 

Access your /admin dashboard, then:

  • SELECT "AUTHOR" in the main menu

  • SELECT "Steps" in the submenu

  • SELECT the blue circle (upper right) with the "+" sign

Menu bar Author/Steps and "+" button highlighted

Choosing a Step Type

- Step Wizard -

The Step Wizard will appear, complete with a bunch of Step types to choose from!

Each training game offers its own distinct learning experience. We recommend experimenting with them all to get an idea of which ones work with what content best.

For your first Step we recommend one of our easiest training games: True or False
