Article, Block and Components
Address the design details:
add titles to the right column
decide how many blocks and any components you want to add
choose where the components are going to be displayed,
i.e. on the left, in the middle or on the right

My tips for creating
modules in Adapt
When using Adapt for the
first time, create modules using
Learning Pool’s “How to take
a good selfie” storyboard
Create an image bank in
asset management before
creating a module
Get into the habit of using
‘tap’ and ‘click’ wording
Complete the Adapt Tutorials
in the Learning Pool Academy
Have a look at existing Adapt
modules in the Adapt builder
Always think A,B,C!
(Article, Block, Components)
If in doubt, ask the experts at
Learning Pool – they are always
willing to help!
