How to Add a Checkbox in Teachable for Better Engagement

Hey, you! Yeah, you staring at your screen like it owes you money. Let’s talk about something super important in the world of teaching online. I know, I know, this sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. But hang on! We’re talking about checkboxes. Yes! Those little squares that can turn your course from “meh” to “whoa!” faster than you can say “I forgot my password.”

So grab a snack and let’s dive into how you can add a checkbox in Teachable for more engagement. Trust me, it’s gonna be fun… sort of.

Step 1: Sign In Like a Boss

First things first, open up that browser and log into your Teachable account. You gotta strut in there like you own the place. If you forgot your password, just remember—this is not an episode of Survivor and you don’t need to go through all those challenges to reset it.

Step 2: Find Your Course Like a Treasure Hunter

Okay, now that you’re logged in, head over to the courses section. It’s like looking for treasure but without the pirate hat and the map (unless you’re into that stuff). Click on the course where you wanna add the fancy checkbox thingy.

Step 3: Click on Content ‘Cause Content is King

Now you see those tabs? Yeah, they are calling your name. Click on the “Content” tab like it’s got free pizza inside. This is where all the magic happens (or at least where checkboxes come to life). Scroll down and find the lesson where you want that checkbox party to take place.

Step 4: Add a New Section—Time for Some Drama

Guess what? You need to add a new section for our beloved checkbox! Look for “Add Section” or something similar. Just click on that bad boy and give it an eye-catching title like “Choose Your Adventure” or “Are You Still Awake?” You get bonus points if it makes people laugh!

Step 5: Choose “Checkbox” Because Words are Overrated

Now this is where things get real interesting! Find the option to add different types of content or questions and choose “Checkbox.” It’s like picking ice cream flavors at an ice cream parlor only this time there’s no mess (hopefully).

Step 6: Write Stuff That Makes Sense… or Not

You gotta give this checkbox some love by writing instructions or options for your students to check off. Make sure it’s clear what they should do—or don’t! Maybe throw in something silly like “Check here if you’re still wearing pajamas.” That’ll get them giggling while clicking away!

Step 7: Save Your Work Before Chaos Ensues

Don’t forget this part! Hit save so all your hard work doesn’t vanish into thin air like socks in a dryer. Be proud of yourself because look at you—making learning fun with checkboxes like a pro!
