Write the page. The activities are just another block.

Headings, text, pictures, video, a PDF, a formula — and any of your activities, dropped in between the paragraphs. There is no separate assignment to wire up: where the explanation is, the activity is.

Show it for
  • Every block a lesson needs Heading, text, image, video, audio, a document, an embed from Genially or Padlet, a callout, a formula, a table, a reveal and a divider — plus your activities and hand-in assignments.
  • Your activities, never copies A course points at an activity; it never copies it. Pick from your own or from the shared library, and a fix to the activity reaches every course that uses it.
  • Pages, in order if you like A long course splits into pages with sections, read one page at a time. Switch on “pages in order”, or open a page on a date, after another page or after an activity.
  • Start from a document Drop in a lesson as a Word file, a PDF or a photo, and the AI assistant turns it into pages, sections and text, pictures included, for a few AI credits. You add the activities.

The part only Puzzel.org has

The activity is part of the lesson, not a link out of it.

Any of the 38 activity types can sit on a course page, right under the paragraph it practises: crosswords, quizzes, word searches, jigsaws, memory and all the rest. Its result lands in the progress overview and the grades, with nothing to wire up.

Pick a type, then press Play in the lesson:
Where it plays In the lessonOwn pageAssignment

Played in the lesson, opened on its own page, or as an assignment that takes the full screen until it is handed in. Games run for a whole group, like bingo, always open on their own page.

Everything else the builder does

  • Focus while playing Set an activity to open over the blurred lesson — as practice, or as an assignment with a hand-in — so a student is on one thing at a time.
  • Due dates Give an activity or a hand-in a due date. It stays open after it; the student sees it is late, and the grades mark what is missing.
  • Hand-in assignments A submission block asks for a text, a photo or a PDF. You give a score and a comment, or return it for another round.
  • Print the whole course One printout for the whole course: the text as written, and each activity as its name with a QR code to play it.
  • Translate a course Copy a course into any of the 23 site languages in one go, with a translated copy of every activity in it.
  • Try it as a student Open the course the way a student would and play it through. Nothing you do there is recorded.
The palette

14 kinds of block, one plus button away.

Each one looks on the course page exactly as it does in the builder. This is what each of them does.

  • Heading A heading inside a section, to split a long page into parts you can scan.
  • Text Paragraphs with bold, italics, highlights, lists, quotes and links.
  • Image A picture you drop in or pick from your media library, as wide as the text or wider, with a caption and alt text.
  • Video Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, and it plays inside the page.
  • Audio A sound or a spoken explanation to play on the page, from your media library.
  • Document A PDF you upload, read right on the page — or a Google or Microsoft share link, in its own viewer.
  • Embed A Genially, a Padlet, a GeoGebra — any of 26 listed services, in a frame on the page.
  • Activity Any of your activities: played inside the page, on its own page, or in focus with a hand-in.
  • Submission Work to hand in: a text, a photo or a PDF. You score it, comment on it, or return it for another round.
  • Callout A tinted note that stands out on the page: a tip, some information or a warning.
  • Formula A formula written in LaTeX, typeset on the page.
  • Reveal A line to click that opens what sits under it: an answer, a hint, a worked example.
  • Table Rows and columns, pasted from Excel or Google Sheets, imported from a CSV, or read from a photo.
  • Divider A quiet line between two parts of a page.
The student's side

What you build is what they read.

The builder draws every block the way the course page does, so there is no separate preview to check. Any of the 38 activity types can go in; the ones that need the whole screen, or several players at once, open on their own page with one tap.
