Quest Ladder / Building a block
Building a learning block: before they choose, choices, after Check
Inside one active learning block: what the learner reads, picks and sees.
Four options and a reveal. The reveal is where the teaching is.
The segments
A four-option block is edited across a row of tabs, each one part of what a learner meets, in the order they meet it.
| Tab | Holds |
|---|---|
| Before they choose | The prompt, and an optional model explanation. |
| Choice A to Choice D | The four options, one per tab. One is marked correct. |
| After Check | What they see once they have committed. |
Each tab is badged Has content or Empty, so an unfinished block is visible at a glance rather than at a learner.
The content slots
- Content prompt — the instruction shown above the four choices. Something like Which explanation best describes the method?
- Model explanation — optional, shown before the choices so a learner has something to judge against. Leave it empty to skip it.
- Answer options — the four choices themselves.
- Content reveal — what appears after Check.
- Acceptable answers — where the block takes a typed response rather than a choice.
Slots are badged Optional or Needed, which is the fastest way to know whether a block is finished.
Default reveal and tailored feedback
Every block has a Default reveal: what a learner sees after Check when nothing more specific applies. Add tailored feedback attaches a different reveal to a particular option, shown as When {{id}}.
The panel states the rule plainly: learners who pick an option without tailored feedback see the default reveal. So the default must stand on its own — it is not a fallback nobody reads, it is what most learners get.
Tailored feedback is worth writing for the one or two options that represent a real misconception, and not worth writing for the filler. Two good tailored reveals teach more than four thin ones.
Seeing it as a learner
The Student path strip shows the sequence — before they choose, the four choices, Check, after Check — and a walkthrough preview runs it as a learner would meet it.
Use it. A block reads coherently in tabs and can be incoherent in sequence, most often because the prompt asks about something the reveal never mentions.
