Understanding Wistudi Terminology
Wistudi uses a set of specific terms to describe its learning experiences, creation tools, content structure, sharing options, and reporting features.
Understanding these terms will make it easier to navigate the platform, follow Help Centre instructions, and communicate clearly with learners, creators, and instructors.
This guide introduces the main terminology used throughout Wistudi.
Platform Spaces
Learner Space
Learner Space is the part of Wistudi designed for accessing and completing learning experiences.
Learners use this area to:
- Open Flows and Interactive Videos
- Continue learning in progress
- Review completed learning
- View progress, results, and feedback
- Access content shared with them
Learner Space focuses on the learning experience rather than content creation.
Creator Space
Creator Space is the part of Wistudi used to create, manage, publish, and share learning content.
Creators and instructors use this area to:
- Create Flows
- Create Interactive Videos
- Manage their Workspace
- Publish learning experiences
- Share content with learners
- Access Creator Tools
- Review learner activity and reports
Users can switch between Learner Space and Creator Space using the space switcher in the main navigation.
Workspace
The Workspace is the main content-management area inside Creator Space.
It contains the Flows and Interactive Videos created or managed by the user.
Depending on the content type and its current stage, items in the Workspace may appear as:
- Draft
- Published
- Unlisted
- Archived
- Interactive
- Standard video
The Workspace is also where creators can search, filter, preview, edit, and manage their content.
Creator Tools
Creator Tools is the area used to manage learner activity and learning performance after content has been shared.
Creator Tools may include:
- Learner Overview
- Learner Activity
- Activity Reports
- Grading
- Feedback
- Advanced reporting
- Analytics
Some Creator Tools may become available only after the user has published or shared content.
Learning Content Types
Flow
A Flow is a structured interactive learning experience.
A Flow can contain:
- Collections
- Pages
- Content Blocks
- Activity Blocks
- Assessments
- Discussions
- Assignments
- Resources
- Live learning elements
Flows can be used for lessons, courses, workshops, onboarding, training programmes, and other guided learning experiences.
A Flow is the parent structure that contains the rest of the learning content.
Interactive Video
An Interactive Video is a video-based learning experience containing interactive checkpoints.
Instead of watching a video passively, learners may be asked to complete questions, activities, reflections, or other interactions while the video plays.
Interactive Videos may also be referred to as XP Videos in some areas of Wistudi.
For consistency in Help Centre documentation, the user-facing term should generally be Interactive Video, unless the platform interface specifically displays XP Video.
Standard Video
A Standard Video is a video that has not yet been made interactive.
Creators may be able to watch the video, update its details, or convert it into an Interactive Video by adding checkpoints and activities.
Flow Structure
Wistudi uses the following content hierarchy:
Flow → Collection → Page → Block
Collections are optional, so a Flow may also use this simpler structure:
Flow → Page → Block
Collection
A Collection is an optional organisational group inside a Flow.
Collections are used to group related Pages together.
For example, a course Flow could contain the following Collections:
- Introduction
- Core Concepts
- Practical Activities
- Final Assessment
A Collection can contain Pages, but it cannot contain another Collection.
Not every Flow needs Collections. Smaller learning experiences may contain Pages directly inside the Flow.
Page
A Page is a lesson or content area inside a Flow.
Pages contain the Blocks that learners read, watch, or interact with.
A Page may include:
- Text
- Images
- Videos
- Activities
- Assessments
- Discussions
- Assignments
- Resources
Pages may appear directly under a Flow or inside a Collection.
A Page cannot contain another Page.
Block
A Block is an individual piece of content or interaction placed inside a Page.
Blocks are the building components used to create a Flow.
Each Block has a specific purpose. Some Blocks provide information, while others require learner participation.
Examples include:
- Text
- Images
- Video
- Multiple Choice
- True or False
- Assignment
- Reflection
- Smart Sorting
- Picture Quiz
- Discussion
- Whiteboard
- Poll
- Downloadable Resource
Types of Blocks
Content Block
A Content Block provides information or learning material without requiring a graded response.
Examples may include:
- Text
- Images
- Video
- Callouts
- Downloads
- Accordions
- Resources
Content Blocks help explain, introduce, or reinforce information.
Activity Block
An Activity Block asks the learner to participate or respond.
Examples may include:
- Reflection
- Discussion
- Poll
- Matching
- Sorting
- Whiteboard activities
Activity Blocks may be graded or non-graded, depending on the activity type and its settings.
Graded Activity
A Graded Activity contributes points or results to the learner’s performance.
Examples may include:
- Multiple Choice
- True or False
- Picture Quiz
- Smart Sorting
- Graded Assignment
- Graded Written Response
Some activities are always graded, while others allow the creator to enable or disable grading.
Non-Graded Activity
A Non-Graded Activity supports participation, reflection, collaboration, or practice without contributing to the learner’s final score.
Examples may include:
- Polls
- Discussions
- Reflections
- Whiteboards
- Practice activities
A non-graded activity may still be required for completion.
Required Activity
A Required Activity must be completed before the learner can complete a Page or continue through the Flow.
Required does not necessarily mean graded.
For example, a reflection may be required even though it does not contribute to the learner’s score.
Optional Activity
An Optional Activity does not need to be completed for the learner to progress or complete the learning experience.
Optional activities may provide additional practice, enrichment, or supporting information.
Flow Types and Learning Modes
Engagement Flow
An Engagement Flow focuses on participation and interaction rather than formal grading.
In an Engagement Flow:
- Grading is not used
- Pass marks are not shown
- Learners focus on completing activities and engaging with content
- Non-graded activities are prioritised
This type of Flow is suitable for workshops, discussions, engagement sessions, and informal learning.
Learning Flow
A Learning Flow supports grading, assessment, completion rules, and passing requirements.
In a Learning Flow:
- Graded activities can contribute to the final score
- A Flow passing mark may be configured
- Required activities may control progression
- Learners may receive pass or fail outcomes
This type of Flow is suitable for structured courses, training, and assessed learning.
Certificate Flow
A Certificate Flow is a planned or advanced Flow type designed for learning experiences that award a certificate after successful completion.
Availability may depend on the current Wistudi release.
Learning Mode
A Learning Mode controls how a Flow or Interactive Video behaves.
Learning Modes may determine:
- Whether grading is enabled
- Whether sequential progress is required
- Whether passing is required
- Whether learners can move freely
- How activities contribute to completion
The available modes depend on the content type.
Interactive Video Terminology
Checkpoint
A Checkpoint is an interactive point added to a video.
When the learner reaches a checkpoint, the video may pause and display an activity or question.
Checkpoints can be used to:
- Check understanding
- Ask for reflection
- Collect responses
- Reinforce key information
- Require an activity before continuing
Guided Mode
Guided Mode requires learners to progress through an Interactive Video in sequence and meet the passing requirements.
Learners generally cannot skip required checkpoints.
Practice Mode
Practice Mode requires sequential progress but does not require learners to achieve a passing score.
It is suitable for guided practice and skill development.
Challenge Mode
Challenge Mode includes passing requirements but allows learners more freedom to move through the video.
It is suitable for assessment-focused experiences.
Free Mode
Free Mode allows learners to navigate more freely without a required passing score.
It is suitable for exploration, review, or optional learning.
Publishing and Content Status
Draft
A Draft is content that is still being created or edited.
Draft content is not the active published version available to learners.
A Flow becomes a meaningful draft after content has been added to it.
Published
Published content has been prepared for use and is available in the creator’s Workspace as the active version.
Publishing does not always mean that the content is publicly discoverable.
A published item may still require the creator to share it directly with learners.
Unlisted
Unlisted content is not publicly discoverable but may still be accessed through an approved link or sharing method.
Unlisted content is useful for private or controlled learning experiences.
Discoverable
Discoverable content is content made available through Wistudi’s public discovery or marketplace experience.
This feature may be unavailable or marked as coming soon depending on the current platform release.
Archived
Archived content has been removed from the active Workspace without permanently deleting its history.
Archived content may retain:
- Previous versions
- Learner records
- Reports
- Publishing history
Restoring archived content may return it to the Workspace, but it may not automatically restore previous sharing or Discover settings.
Version
A Version is a specific published state of a Flow.
When major changes are made to published content, a new version may be created.
Versions help protect the learning experience of learners who have already started.
Draft Version
A Draft Version is a new editable version created from published content.
It allows the creator to make changes without immediately replacing the currently published version.
Only one active draft version should normally exist at a time.
Active Version
The Active Version is the currently published version available to new learners.
Learners who started an earlier version may remain on that version so their progress and results are not disrupted.
Sharing Terminology
Standard Share
Standard Share allows learners to access and complete content independently.
It is intended for self-paced or asynchronous learning.
Learners may open the content, complete activities, leave, and return later.
Live Share
Live Share is designed for instructor-led delivery.
It allows a trainer, teacher, or facilitator to guide learners through the experience during a live session.
Live Share may be used for:
- Workshops
- Classroom teaching
- Guided training
- Presentations
- Real-time activities
Shared Link
A Shared Link is a direct link that gives a learner access to a Flow or Interactive Video.
The learner may be required to sign in or create an account before accessing the content.
Private Link
A Private Link is a controlled link intended for selected learners or a limited audience.
The creator may be able to configure restrictions such as:
- Number of allowed users
- Number of link uses
- Link expiration
- Reuse restrictions
Access Limit
An Access Limit controls how many learners or link uses are allowed.
Once the maximum limit is reached, additional users may be prevented from joining.
Link Expiration
Link Expiration determines when a shared link stops allowing new access.
Learners who already joined may retain access depending on the sharing settings.
Share Mode
Share Mode identifies how the content was shared.
The main Share Modes are:
- Standard
- Live Share
This may appear in learner-management tables and reports.
Learner Terminology
Learner
A Learner is a user who accesses and participates in a Flow or Interactive Video.
The same person may also be a creator or instructor in another part of Wistudi.
Managed Learner
A Managed Learner is a learner formally added to or managed through the creator’s learner-management tools.
Managed learners may provide the creator with access to more complete learner records, reports, and management controls.
Audience Learner
An Audience Learner accesses learning content through a shared experience without being formally managed in the same way as a Managed Learner.
The exact reports and management features available may differ based on the access method.
Progress
Progress shows how much of a learning experience the learner has completed.
It may be shown as:
- Percentage completed
- Pages completed
- Activities completed
- Checkpoints completed
- Completed or pending status
Completion
Completion means that the learner has met the requirements needed to finish the learning experience.
Completion may depend on:
- Viewing required content
- Completing required activities
- Passing required activities
- Reaching the end of the Flow or video
Completion is not always the same as passing.
Passing
Passing means that the learner has met the minimum performance requirement set by the creator.
A learner may complete an experience without passing if they finish all required steps but do not achieve the required score.
Attempt
An Attempt is one opportunity to complete an activity.
The creator may set a limited number of attempts or allow unlimited attempts.
Attempts may apply to individual activities rather than the entire Flow.
Submission
A Submission is a response sent by a learner for review.
Submissions may include:
- Written responses
- Assignments
- Uploaded files
- Whiteboards
- Discussion responses
- Other manual activities
Feedback
Feedback is information provided to the learner about their activity or submission.
Feedback may be:
- Automatic
- Immediate
- Shown after completion
- Provided manually by an instructor
- Published after grading
Grading Terminology
Points
Points are numerical values awarded for graded activities.
The learner’s actual points may be compared with the total available points.
Total Points
Total Points is the maximum number of points available across the graded activities included in the final score.
Actual Points
Actual Points is the number of points earned by the learner.
Final Score
The Final Score is the learner’s combined result across the activities configured to count toward the final score.
Not every activity necessarily contributes to the final score.
Count Toward Final Score
Count Toward Final Score is a setting that determines whether a graded activity contributes to the learner’s overall result.
An activity may be graded without being included in the final Flow score if this option is disabled.
Passing Mark
The Passing Mark is the minimum score required to pass.
It may be configured using:
- Points
- Percentage
Auto-Graded Activity
An Auto-Graded Activity is scored automatically by Wistudi.
Examples may include:
- Multiple Choice
- True or False
- Picture Quiz
- Smart Sorting
Manually Graded Activity
A Manually Graded Activity requires an instructor or creator to review the learner’s response.
Examples may include:
- Assignments
- Written responses
- Guided discussions
