The audio format is a single-screen activity where learners must listen to an audio file to finish the session. It’s ideal for podcasts, guided instructions, meditations, or any voice-led experience.

📍 Why use the audio format?

Use this format to:

  • Deliver meditations, music, or voice recordings

  • Share podcasts or audio stories (for example, stories on the floor)

  • Let learners focus on listening without reading text

  • Support different learning styles (especially audio learners)

🛠️ To create an audio activity

  1. Go to Content > Activities > and create a new activity

  2. Select the Audio format

  3. Add a title, intro text, and upload an image

Supported image formats:

  • JPG

  • PNG

  • GIF

🔍 The image appears at the top of the activity and on the activity tile.

🔊 Choose your audio source

In Studio, select one of the following audio sources from the dropdown:

  • Audio upload: Upload an MP3 file

  • Audio URL: Paste a direct link to an audio file

  • Audio embed: Paste an embed code (Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music)

Optional settings

Hide the image overlay: Removes the dark gradient displayed over the image

💡 Tip:

Use this option if your image already has enough contrast for text readability.
