Lesson Fields

Field	Type	Required	Notes
Lesson Type	Enum	Yes	lesson, quiz, project, code-blank-fill, etc.
Name	String	Yes	Title of the lesson (3–80 characters).
XP	Number	Yes	Experience points rewarded for completion.
Gold	Number	Optional	In-app currency reward.

Course Activities

Each lesson can contain activities. Admins can add:

• Content Lessons → instructional material.
• Quizzes → knowledge checks.
• Code Blank Fill → coding exercises with fill-in-the-blank.

---

Add Lessons (Content Type)

• Content: Written with CKEditor (supports rich text + Markdown).
• Programming Language: Optional, choose if content includes coding.
• Code Content: CKEditor with code block support (syntax highlighting).

{
  "lessonType": "lesson",
  "name": "Variables in Python",
  "xp": 20,
  "gold": 5,
  "content": "<p>Variables are containers for storing data values.</p>",
  "programmingLanguage": "Python",
  "codeContent": "x = 5\nprint(x)"
}

Add Quiz

Choose Quiz Type:

Quiz (Multiple Choice)

Code Blank Fill

1. Quiz (Multiple Choice)
Field	Type	Notes
Content	Text/CKEditor	Quiz question text.
Programming Language	Optional	Only if code included.
Code Content	CKEditor	Code snippet shown in quiz.
Answers	Array	Multiple answers allowed. One must be marked true.
Explanation	Text	Each answer can have its own explanation.

Example:

{
  "quizType": "multiple-choice",
  "content": "What is the output of print(2 + 3)?",
  "programmingLanguage": "Python",
  "codeContent": "print(2 + 3)",
  "answers": [
    {"text": "23", "isCorrect": false, "explanation": "This would be string concatenation."},
    {"text": "5", "isCorrect": true, "explanation": "Correct! 2 + 3 = 5."}
  ]
}

2. Quiz (Code Blank Fill)
Field	Type	Notes
Content	Text/CKEditor	Instructions to learner.
Answer	Rich Text (CKEditor)	Correct solution (can add multiple blanks).
Programming Language	Enum	e.g., Python, C++, Java.
Code Content (with blanks)	CKEditor + code highlighting	Insert blank placeholders in code.
Compile	Boolean	Whether code should be compiled/tested.
Compile Code	String	The code shown to user with blanks.
Output	String	Expected program output.

Blank Markup: Use {blank} in code where learners must fill.

Example:

{
  "quizType": "code-blank-fill",
  "content": "Fill in the missing keyword to define a function in Python.",
  "programmingLanguage": "Python",
  "codeContent": "{blank} greet():\n    print('Hello')",
  "answers": [
    {"blank": "def"}
  ],
  "compile": true,
  "compileCode": "def greet():\n    print('Hello')",
  "output": "Hello"
}

Best Practices

Keep XP and Gold rewards balanced across lessons.

Use Content → Quiz → Coding flow for structured learning.

For quizzes, always add explanations (why correct/incorrect).

For code blanks:

Limit to 1–3 blanks per question for clarity.

Enable compile = true only if you want automatic code testing.

Provide clear output expectations.
