Lesson vs Sequence

Lessons:

  • Use the full widget library: videos, images, text, quizzes, files, scheduling, Typeform surveys, live streaming, and more.

  • Ideal for: lengthy videos, detailed tutorials, downloadable resources, or interactive lessons.

Sequences:

  • Add additional features to video content like looping, countdown timers, or step-by-step exercises.

  • Ideal for: structured activities such as workouts, music, dance, art, or cooking.

  • Two main views:

    • List view: See all segments with descriptions.

    • Playlist: Click Start Now to play all segments in order.

  • Include instructional videos, short playback clips (2–5 seconds), or images for guidance.

Not sure which to use? Lessons are versatile for any content type; sequences are best for structured, step-based content.

 

What is a sequence?

A Sequence is a collection of exercises, clips, or steps arranged in a specific order. Users move seamlessly from one activity to the next, making learning or workouts more structured and efficient.

Even if you’re not a fitness creator, sequences can be used for any topic where step-by-step guidance or looping videos help users learn.

 

Adding a sequence 

  1. Go to your Admin View (App, Web App, or Passion.io App).

  2. Select the course to which you want to add a sequence.

  3. Click "+" at the top right and select Lesson/Sequence.

  4. Choose Sequence as the content type.

  5. Enter a Sequence Name (max 60 characters).

  6. Add a Summary (max 70 characters; placeholder can be used if blank).

  7. Optional: Set a Duration.

  8. Choose the Course Section for placement.

  9. Add your content: instructional video, playback video, or images.

To preview sequences from the client view, set it as a free lesson. Only direct video uploads are supported; YouTube links are not allowed.

Interactive vs. Timed Interactive Sequence

Interactive Sequence:

  • Running stopwatch timer.

  • Users click Next to proceed.

  • No sound alerts.

Timed Interactive Sequence:

  • Countdown timer.

  • Users cannot proceed until the timer ends.

  • Plays a beep when one second remains.

 

Timed and interactive widgets are separate. Remove any widget you don’t need before uploading content again.

Sequence Setup Tips
