Adding Media and Documents to a Program

Learn how to add videos, audio, PDFs, and documents as steps in a Yoodli Program.

Written by Christian Bedoya

Programs in Yoodli can include more than roleplay steps. You can add videos, audio files, PDFs, and Word documents as steps in a program.

This lets you combine practice with supporting materials, such as a training video, example recording, knowledge primer, or follow-up document.

What you can add

Video files, such as MP4 files

Audio files, such as MP3 files

PDF documents

Word documents, such as .docx files

Presentation files, such as .pptx files, and images are not supported as program steps yet.

Adding a file step to a program

Open your program in Builder.

Click Add step.

Choose File.

Upload a new file, choose a file from your content space file library, select a global file, or import from connected Google Drive.

Add a clear title.

Optionally, add a description that tells learners what to focus on.

Drag the step into the right position in the program.

Save and publish the program when you are ready.

File steps can sit anywhere in the program, alongside roleplay steps.

How completion works for file steps

For PDF and Word documents, the step is marked complete when the learner scrolls through at least 80% of the file.

For video and audio files, the step is marked complete when the learner watches or listens to at least 80% of the runtime.

Learners can scrub forward in video or audio files.

File steps do not generate a score and do not count as an attempt. They are consumption-only steps.

What members see

Members see file steps in their program flow just like roleplay steps.

They will see a header progress indicator, a Next button, and the file rendered inline.

Videos support full screen on desktop and horizontal full screen on mobile.

Audio continues playing on mobile when the screen is locked.

PDFs render inline with zoom controls.

Tracking member progress

File steps appear in the program overview and All Members table.

Admins can see who has viewed each file step.

Admins can mark a step incomplete if a learner needs to repeat it.

Admins can also mark a file step complete on a learner’s behalf when needed.

Things to know

Programs with file steps cannot be set as LMS-only. Videos and PDFs are not supported through SCORM or LTI.

If you need an LMS-only program, remove the file steps or deliver the media outside the LMS.

When you move a program with file steps to another content space, files used only by that program move with it. Files used by other content in the original content space are copied instead.

File steps do not support sharing, grading, or attempts. Those only apply to roleplay steps.
