To help reduce the “wall of text” problem in lessons, I would like the option to progressively display content one paragraph or content block at a time inside the Course Builder.
The goal is not to hide content behind tabs, accordions, flip cards, hotspots, or other interactive elements. Instead, this would function as a simple sequential reading experience where instructors can choose to reveal content progressively as the learner advances.
For example, an instructor could:
This would help improve readability, learner focus, cognitive pacing, and accessibility while still keeping content visible and linear.
The feature could optionally include:
Many instructional lessons become visually overwhelming when large amounts of text appear at once, especially in:
Currently, the alternatives often require:
These workarounds can interrupt reading flow or reduce accessibility.
A progressive reveal option would allow instructors to maintain a clean, readable, narrative learning experience while reducing cognitive overload.
Learners focus on smaller chunks of information instead of scanning large text blocks.
Content can be introduced gradually in a logical instructional sequence.
Especially helpful for new learners, mobile users, and neurodiverse learners.
Supports guided learning experiences where information builds step-by-step.
Linear progression is often easier to follow than hidden interactive containers.
Reduces the need for excessive pages, tabs, accordions, or custom interactions.
Aligns well with microlearning, guided instruction, and performance-support style content.
