# Course content and folders

The Course builder determines which activities learners receive and the order in which they encounter them.

### Supported Course items

| Item                     | Typical learner activity                                       |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Quiz                     | Answer questions and receive the configured result or feedback |
| Note                     | Read rich-text learning material                               |
| Survey                   | Provide feedback or information without quiz-style scoring     |
| Document, audio or video | View or play uploaded material                                 |
| Embed or ZIP             | Open supported web or packaged content                         |
| SCORM                    | Complete an interactive learning package                       |
| Text entry               | Type and submit a written response                             |
| Upload                   | Submit a file for review                                       |

Items remain Library content. Adding one to a Course places that content in this journey; it does not create an unrelated copy for each learner.

### Folders and order

Folders divide a longer Course into recognisable sections. Their names appear to learners, so use outcomes such as **Module 1: Cell biology** rather than internal labels such as **Folder A**. Items can sit at the root or inside folders and can be reordered.

The order has a direct effect when the Assignment uses a linear progression mode. In that case, an accidental item order is not just cosmetic: it may prevent a learner reaching the activity they need.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use folders for meaningful stages, not for every individual item. A short, readable structure is easier for a learner to scan and easier for an administrator to maintain.
{% endhint %}

### Completion behaviour

Different item types record completion differently. Reading content may complete when it has been opened, a Quiz may depend on its attempt, and Text entry or Upload items create submitted work that may require review. Check the item itself as well as its position in the Course when progress appears unexpected.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://synap.ac/docs/platform/assignments/course-content-and-folders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
