Get into the Adapt ‘mind-set’:
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

Using Adapt to create a Project Management Module

‘ABC’
Be patient with Clickable Graphics, remembering:
to calculate where clickable pins will be added
to try different pin positions until you find the right position
make a note of the pin positions
‘Preview’ each pin position within the module

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!
