Specific Block Requirements

Video Blocks

When embedding a YouTube video, the designated YouTube block must be used.

Graded Blocks

Not all CourseArc blocks can be graded in the LMS. If a graded item is required, refer to “What blocks does CourseArc have (Alphabetical List)?” for options. Additional course setting configurations may be necessary.

Cloze Blocks

Cloze blocks have additional requirements to be accessible. Ensure these are met when using this block type.

CourseArc blocks are preferred over a third-party app, such as h5p or Storyline, if an appropriate block is available in CourseArc.

Standard use of each block is recommended.

CourseArc blocks are designed to be accessible. In cases where they are not accessible, there may be an alternate activity is created by CourseArc. Care must be taken when creating blocks to retain their accessibility and function. Factors that could affect accessibility include:

• Choice of text font and color
• Use of page scripts or html code
• Omission of key items such as alt text or transcripts
• Cloze blocks have additional requirements to be accessible.
