Slide elements are the building blocks inside a Micro training. When you add an element to a slide, you pick from the list below. Some are presentational, some collect a participant answer, and one — Previous answer — surfaces an answer the participant gave earlier in the same learning journey.
Presentational elements
These render content for the participant to read, watch, or listen to. They don't collect an answer.
Text. Plain text with basic editing.
Heading. A larger text label in a few sizes.
Image. A single image you add.
Video. A video you upload or embed.
Audio. An audio file you upload.
File. A file the participant can download — useful for handouts and templates. You can also attach multiple files.
Divider. A visual break between elements on the same slide.
Question and answer elements
These ask the participant something and store their answer with the activity.
Open-ended. A text box for written replies.
Multiple choice. Checkboxes or radio buttons.
Rating. A scale you configure, with custom labels.
NPS. A rating scale set up for NPS analysis.
Test question. A test-style question with correct and incorrect answers, used inside knowledge tests.
Flashcard. A two-sided card the participant flips through to quiz themselves.
Reflection across the journey
Previous answer. Shows each participant their own answer to a question they answered in an earlier Micro training of the same learning journey. This is the element built for reflection moments like "Two weeks ago you wrote this — what's changed since?". See Previous answer: show a participant their own answer from earlier in the journey for how to add it and the rule about which questions you can pick from.
Social and discussion elements
Thread. A discussion thread participants can post in and reply to. The current way to support participant-to-participant conversation in Knowly.
Message board. A legacy version of participant discussion. If you're building something new, use Thread instead.
