The problem

Interactive content like Check-for-Understanding questions and flashcards tends to get rebuilt separately for every place it’s used, and the engagement it produces ends up scattered and inconsistent across the platform.

The solution

Interactive blocks are a shared library of content and interactive widgets. Each block is built once and rendered everywhere it’s needed — inline on a page and inside EDZ Rise lessons — with every interaction recorded in one place.

Key features

Build once, render everywhere

The same block appears inline in pages via the Interactive content filter and inside EDZ Rise lessons — no rebuilding per location.

Consistent engagement data

Every interaction a learner makes with a block, wherever it appears, is recorded in one place — so engagement data stays consistent across EDZLMS.

Foundational component

A required building block with no screens or settings of its own. Other interactive features depend on it being present.

Guide

How to use

For administrators

Interactive blocks must be installed and present for the Interactive content filter and EDZ Rise to work — install it together with (or before) those features. There are no settings to manage.

Where blocks appear

• Authors insert interactive blocks through the AI editor tools and in the EDZ Rise editor.
• Learners answer them inline on pages or within a Rise lesson.

Features

This is a foundational component: it has no screens or settings of its own and administrators don’t configure it directly — they just need it present for the interactive features to work.

• Blocks are built once and rendered wherever they’re needed, so the same widget can live inline in a page and inside a Rise lesson.
• Interactions are recorded centrally, keeping engagement data consistent across the platform.
• Part of the same interactive system as the Interactive content filter and EDZ Rise.
