Accessing Content Shared With You

Wistudi allows creators, educators, and trainers to share Flows and Interactive Videos directly with learners.

Shared content may be delivered through a standard link, a controlled private link, or a Live Share session. In most cases, you must sign in before your progress and activity can be recorded.


Opening a Shared Link

To access shared content:

  1. Select the link sent by the creator or instructor.
  2. Wistudi will open the relevant Flow or Interactive Video.
  3. Sign in when prompted.
  4. Create an account if you do not already have one.
  5. Complete any required onboarding steps.
  6. Continue to the shared learning experience.

After signing in, Wistudi should return you to the content you originally opened.

If it does not, open the original shared link again while signed in.


Signing In with the Correct Account

Use the same email address that received the invitation or shared link whenever possible.

Your access, progress, submissions, and results are connected to your Wistudi account.

Using a different account may mean:

  • The shared content does not open
  • Your progress is recorded separately
  • The instructor cannot identify your activity correctly
  • The content does not appear in Learner Space

Before beginning, check your name or profile icon to confirm that the correct account is active.


Where Shared Content Appears

After accessing shared content, it may appear in:

  • Shared With Me
  • Library
  • Continue Learning
  • Your Learner Dashboard
  • The original shared link

The exact location may depend on how the content was shared and whether you have already started it.


Standard Share

Standard Share is used for self-paced learning.

With Standard Share, you can usually:

  • Start the content when convenient
  • Complete it independently
  • Leave and return later
  • Continue from your saved progress
  • Review results and feedback when available

Standard Share is suitable for lessons, courses, training, and pre-study activities.


Live Share

Live Share is used for instructor-led learning.

You may be asked to join at a particular time while the instructor guides the session.

During Live Share:

  • The instructor may control the pace
  • Some Pages may remain locked until released
  • Activities may be completed together
  • You may need to stay in the session until it ends

Live Share content may still appear in Learner Space after the session, depending on the creator’s settings.


Private and Controlled Links

Some shared links include access controls.

These may limit:

  • How many learners can join
  • How many times the link can be used
  • Whether the link can be reused by another person
  • How long the link remains active
  • Who is permitted to access the content

Do not forward a private link unless the creator has allowed it.


Starting the Experience

After access is confirmed, select the available action.

This may appear as:

  • Enter Flow
  • Start Lesson
  • Watch Now
  • Continue
  • Resume

The action changes depending on the content type and your current progress.


Progress and Activity Tracking

When you are signed in, Wistudi may record:

  • Content started
  • Pages or checkpoints completed
  • Activity responses
  • Attempts
  • Scores
  • Submissions
  • Completion status
  • Feedback

Only activity completed under the correct account will appear in your learner record.


Returning to Shared Content

To return later:

  1. Sign in to Wistudi.
  2. Open Learner Space.
  3. Check Shared With Me, Library, or Continue Learning.
  4. Select the content.
  5. Choose Continue or Resume.

You can also reuse the original link if it remains active.

Check the following:

  • You are signed in with the correct account.
  • The link has not expired.
  • The access limit has not been reached.
  • The creator has not disabled the content.
  • You completed the required onboarding steps.

If access still fails, contact the person who shared the content or Wistudi Support.

13. Starting Your First Learning Experience

After opening a shared Flow or Interactive Video, you can begin learning directly from the experience page.

The available actions may vary depending on the content type, your progress, and the creator’s settings.


Before You Start

Before beginning, check:

  • The title and description
  • The creator or instructor
  • Any completion requirements
  • Passing requirements, when applicable
  • Whether the experience is self-paced or live
  • Whether any activities are required

For the best experience, use a supported desktop browser and a stable internet connection.


Starting a Flow

A Flow is a structured learning experience made up of Pages and Blocks.

To begin:

  1. Open the Flow.
  2. Review the overview or introduction.
  3. Select Enter Flow or Start Lesson.
  4. Open the first available Page.
  5. Follow the content and activity instructions.

Some Pages may be locked until earlier requirements are completed.


Starting an Interactive Video

An Interactive Video includes checkpoints that appear while the video plays.

To begin:

  1. Open the Interactive Video.
  2. Review the title, description, and requirements.
  3. Select Watch Now or Start Lesson.
  4. Play the video.
  5. Complete each checkpoint when it appears.

Depending on the learning mode, you may need to complete or pass a checkpoint before continuing.


Completing Activities

A learning experience may include:

  • Multiple-choice questions
  • True or false questions
  • Picture quizzes
  • Sorting activities
  • Reflections
  • Discussions
  • Written responses
  • Assignments
  • Polls
  • Whiteboards

Read the instructions before submitting your response.

Some activities are graded automatically. Others may require manual review from an instructor.


Required Activities

A required activity must be completed before you can finish the Page or continue through the learning experience.

Required does not always mean graded.

For example, a reflection may be required even when it does not contribute to your score.


Attempts and Passing

Some activities allow more than one attempt.

The activity may show:

  • Attempts available
  • Attempts used
  • Your current score
  • Whether you passed
  • Whether another attempt is allowed

If the creator has set a passing requirement, you may need to achieve the minimum score before continuing or completing the experience.


Saving Your Progress

Wistudi records your progress while you learn.

Your saved activity may include:

  • Pages completed
  • Checkpoints completed
  • Responses submitted
  • Scores
  • Attempts
  • Current position

Make sure an activity is fully submitted before leaving the page.


Leaving and Returning Later

You can usually leave a self-paced experience and return later.

To continue:

  1. Sign in to Wistudi.
  2. Open Learner Space.
  3. Find the experience in Continue Learning, Library, or Shared With Me.
  4. Select Continue or Resume.

You may also reopen the original shared link.


Reviewing Your Results

After completing activities, you may be able to review:

  • Scores
  • Correct and incorrect answers
  • Completion progress
  • Feedback
  • Submission status
  • Attempts used
  • Pass or completion result

Some results appear immediately. Manually reviewed activities may remain marked as Pending until the instructor responds.


Completing the Experience

A learning experience is complete when you meet its completion requirements.

These may include:

  • Viewing required content
  • Completing required Pages
  • Completing required activities
  • Passing selected activities
  • Reaching the end of the Flow or video

Completion and passing are not always the same.

You may complete all required work but still not pass if your score is below the passing mark.


Reviewing Completed Content

After completion, the available action may change to Review.

Reviewing may allow you to:

  • Reopen the experience
  • View your results
  • Read instructor feedback
  • Check completed activities
  • Review the learning content

Whether you can retake activities depends on the creator’s settings.


Live Learning Experiences

If the content is being delivered through Live Share:

  • Join at the scheduled time.
  • Follow the instructor’s guidance.
  • Wait for locked Pages to be released.
  • Complete activities when instructed.
  • Keep the session open until the instructor finishes.

Live sessions may provide less freedom to move ahead independently.


If You Cannot Continue

Check whether:

  • A required activity is incomplete.
  • A checkpoint still needs to be completed.
  • You have used all available attempts.
  • The instructor has not yet unlocked the next Page.
  • Your submission is still processing.
  • The learning experience has ended or expired.

Look for a pending, locked, or required label near the activity or navigation.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave and return later?

Yes, for most self-paced experiences. Your progress should be saved when activities are completed or submitted successfully.

Why is the next Page locked?

A previous Page or required activity may still be incomplete, or the instructor may be controlling access during Live Share.

Why is my result pending?

The activity may require manual grading or feedback from the instructor.

Can I change my answer?

This depends on the activity settings and whether you have already submitted your response.

Can I retake the experience?

Retakes depend on the creator’s attempt and completion settings.

Why does the video stop?

The video may have reached an interactive checkpoint that must be completed before playback continues.

Continue to Choosing What to Create to compare Flows and Interactive Videos and decide which format is best for your learning experience.

nove give me: Choosing What to Create

14. Choosing What to Create

Wistudi gives creators two main ways to build interactive learning experiences:

  • Flows
  • Interactive Videos

The best choice depends on how you want learners to move through the content and what type of experience you want to create.

This guide explains the difference between the two and helps you choose the right starting point.


Create a Flow When You Need Structure

A Flow is a structured learning experience made from Pages and Blocks.

It is the better choice when you want to organise learning into a clear sequence with different types of content and activities.

A Flow can include:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Videos
  • Resources
  • Multiple-choice questions
  • True or false questions
  • Assignments
  • Discussions
  • Reflections
  • Polls
  • Whiteboards
  • Other interactive Blocks

Flows are well suited to:

  • Courses
  • Lessons
  • Workshops
  • Employee onboarding
  • Professional training
  • Guided learning journeys
  • Assessments
  • Self-paced study

Create an Interactive Video When Video Is the Main Experience

An Interactive Video is a video lesson with questions, activities, and checkpoints added throughout playback.

It is the better choice when the video itself is the main teaching format and you want learners to actively respond while watching.

Interactive Videos are well suited to:

  • Video-based lessons
  • Demonstrations
  • Product training
  • Recorded presentations
  • Explainer videos
  • Tutorial videos
  • Video assessments
  • Pre-study activities

The Main Difference

The simplest way to decide is to ask:

Is the learning experience built around a sequence of Pages, or around one main video?

Choose a Flow when the learning is organised into multiple sections, Pages, and activities.

Choose an Interactive Video when the video is the main content and interactions appear during playback.


Choose a Flow If You Want To

  • Combine several content types
  • Organise content into Pages
  • Group Pages into Collections
  • Include several activities
  • Build a complete course or workshop
  • Add assignments and discussions
  • Create a longer learning journey
  • Control progression between Pages
  • Use structured assessment rules

Choose an Interactive Video If You Want To

  • Turn an existing video into an active lesson
  • Add questions during playback
  • Check understanding at key moments
  • Stop passive watching
  • Create video checkpoints
  • Keep the experience focused on one video
  • Measure learner responses while they watch
  • Build a shorter, focused lesson

Flow Structure

A Flow usually follows this structure:

Flow → Collection → Page → Block

Collections are optional, so a simpler Flow may use:

Flow → Page → Block

This gives creators more control over how content is organised.


Interactive Video Structure

An Interactive Video usually follows this structure:

Video → Checkpoints → Activities

The learner watches the video and completes activities when each checkpoint appears.


Content Variety

Flows support a wider mix of content.

A single Flow may contain:

  • Reading
  • Videos
  • Activities
  • Assignments
  • Discussions
  • Downloads
  • Live learning elements

Interactive Videos are more focused.

They are built around one main video and the interactions placed inside it.


Length and Complexity

Choose a Flow for:

  • Longer learning experiences
  • Multi-part lessons
  • Several learning objectives
  • Courses with multiple activities
  • Experiences that need clear structure

Choose an Interactive Video for:

  • Shorter lessons
  • One main topic
  • Video-first learning
  • Focused knowledge checks
  • Existing video content

Learner Navigation

In a Flow, learners move through Pages and Blocks.

Depending on the settings, they may:

  • Follow a required sequence
  • Complete required activities
  • Move between Pages
  • Review the Flow structure
  • Return to previous content

In an Interactive Video, learners move through the video timeline and complete checkpoints.

Depending on the mode, they may:

  • Be required to watch in sequence
  • Complete checkpoints before continuing
  • Need to pass selected activities
  • Move more freely through the video

Assessment

Both formats can include assessment.

A Flow is usually better when assessment is spread across several activities or Pages.

An Interactive Video is usually better when questions are directly connected to moments in the video.


Live Teaching

A Flow is generally the stronger choice for:

  • Workshops
  • Classroom teaching
  • Guided sessions
  • Multi-step activities
  • Live group learning

An Interactive Video may still be used during a live session, especially for:

  • Shared video viewing
  • Group questions
  • Guided checkpoint activities
  • Pre-session preparation

Can You Use Both?

Yes.

You do not always need to choose only one format for the entire learning programme.

For example, you could:

  • Create an Interactive Video for pre-study
  • Add that video to a wider Flow
  • Use the Flow for activities, discussion, and assessment
  • Share the complete experience with learners

This can work well when video is important but not enough on its own.

Examples

Choose a Flow

You are creating a workplace onboarding programme with:

  • Welcome information
  • Company policies
  • Training videos
  • Knowledge checks
  • Assignments
  • Final assessment

A Flow is the better choice because the experience contains several types of content across multiple Pages.

Choose an Interactive Video

You have a 12-minute training video and want learners to answer questions at three key moments.

An Interactive Video is the better choice because the video is the main learning experience.
