Choose the right interaction type
When a lesson is set to interaction, you pick a material type before LMSable builds its prompt. The type only shapes the prompt - it does not change how the lesson is exported.
With the quiz editor on (the default), quiz and test lessons open the quiz editor instead, and Educational quiz is not offered as a tile. You then see 15 tiles.
The 16 types
| Type | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Interactive presentation | The lesson walks through a topic in slide-like steps. |
| Microlesson | You need a short, single-idea explanation. |
| Decision simulation | Learners choose between options and see consequences. |
| Situational scenario | A realistic workplace situation with a decision point. |
| Educational quiz | You want a short knowledge check inside the lesson. |
| Case study | A real or realistic example to analyse. |
| Step-by-step guide | A procedure to follow in order. |
| Checklist / Action guide | A list of actions to complete or verify. |
| Flashcards / Knowledge review | Quick recall practice for terms or facts. |

| Timeline | Events or stages in chronological order. |

Steps
- Open a lesson of type interaction.
- If the table of contents already suggested a type, LMSable shows it as Suggested format with the prompt ready - click Change format to pick a different one.
- Pick a tile from the list above. LMSable builds a matching prompt for your AI chat.
- Continue with Fill a lesson: copy the prompt, paste the answer.
What you should see
The prompt on screen changes to match the type you picked, with instructions written for that format.
If something goes wrong
- None of the types fit: pick the closest one - the prompt still asks your AI for the topic, audience and goal you set in the brief, so the result adapts.
- You picked the wrong type after already saving an answer: open the lesson, click Build it again, pick a new type, and run the prompt again; your previous answer is not reused.
