The Scenario training card enhances courses by allowing users to practice real-life situations with an AI counterpart, providing feedback based on their responses. Admins can customize scenarios with specific context using text inputs or links to Sana content, and the card automatically integrates with previous course content.

Choose chat for text-based messaging scenarios or voice for real-time spoken practice.

Drop a word card

This card is a delightful icebreaker that lets learners share any thoughts in response to a prompt you set. All other words submitted by learners will drop down in a pile so you can see different responses.

Reflection card

The Reflection card prompt learners to pause, reflect, and provide thoughtful responses, fostering critical thinking by encouraging users to articulate insights and feedback. These cards enhance the learning experience by promoting a deeper understanding and application of key concepts through reflection and consideration of experiences.

Sliding scale card

The Sliding Scale presents learners with a visual spectrum to express preferences, opinions, or responses by adjusting a marker along the scale, facilitating active engagement and providing clear visual feedback. Users can indicate their position on the scale to reflect their level of agreement or preference on specific topics or scenarios, allowing for nuanced responses and promoting interactive learning experiences within Sana.

Poll card

This interactive card is designed to engage learners by soliciting their opinions, choices, or feedback through polls. This feature enables educators or trainers to gauge understanding, preferences, or sentiments of learners, fostering a dynamic and participatory learning environment. Or why not just add a check-in poll to ask how everyone is doing today?

By analyzing the aggregated responses, instructors can tailor subsequent content, discussions, or activities to better meet the needs and interests of the learners.

Q&A Card

The Q&A card is an interactive tool designed to deepen understanding and encourage curiosity among learners. No question is considered stupid or too small! This feature allows learners to view suggested questions, but also gives them the freedom to ask their own unique questions about the material.

The Q&A card provides the answer and cites the specific card where the information was discussed. This reinforces learning by linking back to the original context, empowering learners to take control of their educational journey and gain a solid understanding and confidence in the material.

Flip card

The Flip card is an interactive tool that engages learners by presenting questions or prompts on one side and corresponding answers or information on the other side. It not only allows for the variation in how information is conveyed but also adds elements of engagement and interaction as learners have to flip the card to reveal the information.

By incorporating Flip cards in a course, you can create a better visual experience for learners while simultaneously making the learning process more interactive, win-win.

Question card

The question card in Sana is designed to facilitate interactive learning by allowing educators to pose questions directly within the content. This tool is designed to assess learner understanding and retention in real-time. It supports various question types, providing flexibility in how information is tested. The use of question cards not only enhances engagement but also provides immediate feedback to learners, helping them to identify areas where they may need further study.

You can use questions either as a stand-alone card or as a block within a page card.

  • To add it as a stand-alone card, click Add card in the left sidebar of the course editor and select Question.

  • To add it inside a page card, type / in any Page card to open the block menu, choose the Question block, and then customize your question content.

Assessment card

The Assessment card is designed to evaluate the overall knowledge and skills of learners at the end of a module or course. It allows educators to create structured tests with a variety of questions and can be configured to include time limits and pass/fail criteria.

This card is crucial for certifying learner competence and readiness to proceed or complete the learning process. By analyzing learner performance, the Assessment Card enables you to identify knowledge retention and gaps, allowing for refinement and enhances course content.

Survey card

The survey card is one of many interactive cards available in the course editor designed to help you create customizable surveys directly in a Sana course. No need to use external tools to improve your course's measurability and gather valuable feedback!

Choose from a range of different question types (Single/Multiple choice, Text input, Net promoter score (NPS), Likert/Opinion scale) in the course editor to meet any need for eNPS, pulse checks, pre- and post-course self-assessments.
