Core concepts

Understand the building blocks of every Teacharium lesson before you start creating.

This guide is coming soon. In the meantime, the Teacharium Introduction video covers these concepts with a visual walkthrough.

Lessons, sections, and steps

• Lesson — A complete learning experience you author and share with learners.
• Section — A group of related steps (e.g., introduction, instruction, quiz, conclusion).
• Step — A single screen the learner sees. Each step is a visual canvas where you place components.

Components

Components are the building blocks you place on a step: text, images, questions, inputs, buttons, and more. You drag components from the sidebar onto the canvas.

Variables

Variables let components talk to each other and make lessons dynamic. A slider can set a variable, and a text block can display it using {{variableName}} syntax. Variables also power branching, conditional visibility, and scoring.

Items

Items are interactive components (like questions) that automatically track whether the learner has attempted them, whether the answer is correct, and what score was earned. See Scoring & Items for details.

Widgets

Widgets extend Teacharium with new component types. Browse built-in widgets in the Widget Library, or create your own using AI-powered vibe coding.
