Creating Lessons

LIVRESQ is an online platform that allows the creation, editing, and publishing of interactive digital lessons. You can easily create courses, textbooks, presentations, or other educational materials with multimedia elements (text, images, video, quizzes, etc.)—no advanced programming knowledge required.

There is no need to install anything. LIVRESQ runs directly in your web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) and is a cloud-based platform. Simply visit the LIVRESQ website, create an account, and work online — all you need is an internet connection.

The platform offers both a free plan and subscription options (Premium/Academic). With the free account, you can create lessons and access most of the basic features. The Premium plan adds additional functionalities (such as real-time collaboration, planning mode, extra storage space, lesson creation with the help of Artificial Intelligence), but you can still do a lot with the free version to start with.

Go to the LIVRESQ website and use the registration option. You will provide an email address and a password, then confirm your account by accessing your email. Once the account is active, log in using the email and password you selected, directly in your browser, to access the platform.

After logging in, go to the "Workshop" section (the lesson editor). There you will find a "Create a new project" button. By clicking it, you can choose to start from scratch, use a template if you have a free account, or even let artificial intelligence generate a lesson structure for you if you have a premium/academic account. After selection, the editor will open, and you can start adding the lesson content.

Yes. LIVRESQ provides templates (lesson models) that you can use as a starting point. When creating a new project, you can choose an existing template — it will already contain a structure and basic elements, which you can modify and fill in with your own content. This saves you time and gives you a well-structured lesson model. 

Yes, the platform integrates Artificial Intelligence features that can create content for you, which you can then modify according to your preferences. For example, there are options to generate text (for explanations or questions). These features are designed to provide you with ideas and materials, which you can later adjust as desired. (Note: AI availability requires a Premium/Academic plan).

Yes. If you already have a project and want to start a new lesson from its structure, you can use the Duplicate function. In the resource list, next to the project name, there is an option to duplicate (a button). This creates a copy of the selected lesson, which you can then rename and modify independently of the original.

In LIVRESQ, a project is the complete lesson (it includes all chapters/pages). The project is made up of one or more sections – each section can be viewed as a chapter, subsection, or individual page of the lesson. A resource is a content element that you insert into a section (for example: a text block, an image, a video, a quiz, etc.). In short, the project is the entire lesson, the sections are subdivisions of the lesson, and the resources are the actual materials placed in the sections (e.g., text resource, video resource, image resource, etc.).

In the editor, your lesson (project) has a sections menu. There is an "Add section" button (represented by the "+" symbol) in the top bar. When you click this button, a new empty section will be created within the project, which you can name (e.g., "Chapter 2") and then fill with resources. Each section added will appear in the lesson structure and can be edited independently.

Yes. LIVRESQ allows you to create sections as independent resources. For example, you can create a section (with all its content) in the Resources area of the workshop, without it being part of a project yet. Later, you can include it in a project by importing it or using drag-and-drop. This approach is useful if you want to reuse the same section in multiple different lessons.

All your saved projects and sections appear on the Resources page in the Workshop. When you log in, you can navigate to "Resources" (the list of projects/sections). There you will see the titles of the lessons you have created. To continue working on a lesson, double-click on the project name (or choose the "Open" option). The lesson will open in the editor, where you can continue editing from where you left off.

On the Resources page, you can delete unwanted items. For example, to delete an entire project (lesson), select the project and look for the "Delete" option (usually represented by a trash can). By confirming, the lesson will be deleted from your account. Similarly, you can delete an individual section: either from within the project (in the lesson's section list, there is a delete option for the desired section), or from the general resources list. Caution: deletion is permanent, so make sure you no longer need the content.

To rename a lesson (project), go to the Resources page, and in the top bar, you will find the pencil icon representing "rename." Enter the new desired title. To rename a section, select it and then follow the same step mentioned above. This way, you can update the titles of chapters or projects at any time, even after adding content.

Yes. In the Resources area of the platform, you can create directories (folders) to organize your projects and resources. For example, you can have a "Math" folder where you move all the math lessons and another "Biology" folder for the related lessons. You create a new folder (there is an option "Create folder"), and then you can move lessons into the respective folders using drag-and-drop or the "Move" command. This helps you maintain order when you have many materials.

Yes, the editor supports working with multiple projects/sections simultaneously. In the top bar of the editor, each open lesson or section will be displayed as a tab. You can create or open another project by pressing the "+" button in the tab area. Then, you can switch between lessons by clicking on the desired tab. This way, you can copy content between projects or work in parallel without having to close and reopen lessons every time.

The LIVRESQ platform is responsive, meaning it's adapted for mobile devices. You can log in and edit content from a tablet or even a phone. However, for the optimal editing experience (considering screen space and interface complexity), it is recommended to use a computer or a tablet with a larger screen. But yes, if needed, you can access, view, or make minor changes from mobile devices.

No. LIVRESQ has been designed as an easy-to-use tool for teachers and trainers, without requiring advanced technical knowledge. Adding interactive elements is done by clicking and filling in, while customizing the appearance is done through intuitive menus. You don't need to write code to create engaging lessons – the platform handles the technical side, so you can focus on the content.

You can create a wide range of interactive educational materials. Primarily, LIVRESQ is used for digital lessons (online lessons,
course modules), but you can also create digital textbooks, interactive e-books, presentations, assessments, simple educational games, or even guides. Essentially, any material that combines text with multimedia elements and interactivity (such as exercises) can be created as a project in LIVRESQ.

Yes, this is one of the platform's main capabilities. Within a lesson, you can combine theoretical content (texts, images, videos) with practical exercises or assessments (surveys, quizzes, crossword-type games, etc.). This makes the lesson much more interactive and checks the student's knowledge along the way. The platform has several types of tests/surveys that you can easily add to the desired sections.

The editor has a preview function. When editing a section, you can click the "Preview" button (the "eye" icon in the top bar). This will open the current section in a view mode, exactly as a student will see it. To preview the entire lesson from start to finish, one method is to access the preview from the project, not from the section, or temporarily publish the lesson (only for yourself, in your personal shelf) and then go through all the sections as a regular student. This way, you ensure that everything looks and functions correctly before distribution.

LIVRESQ automatically saves progress at short intervals. If the connection drops, the platform will try to save once the internet returns. In case of disconnection, you will receive a notification in the editor (a warning message). Usually, the data entered up until that point is temporarily stored locally; once the reconnection occurs, the changes are saved on the server. If there are any saving errors, it's recommended to refresh the page after reconnecting, for safety.

Yes. In the editor, in the top options bar, there are buttons for "Undo" and "Redo." If you've accidentally deleted or modified something, you can press Undo to revert to the previous state. Similarly, if you've undone too much, you can use Redo to redo the change. These functions help you experiment without worry, knowing that you can always go back with a click.

Yes. The elements (resources) in a section can be arranged as you wish. You can move a block (text, image, etc.) by clicking and dragging it to the desired position (drag-and-drop) within the page or row. Additionally, you can change the order of sections in a project (e.g., move Section 3 before Section 2) – this is done in the section list, either by dragging or using the "Move up/down" option. In conclusion, you have complete freedom to rearrange the content to achieve the optimal structure.

Yes. In addition to these frequently asked questions, there is a User Manual LIVRESQ (official manual) and various video tutorials provided by the LIVRESQ team. You can access the documentation on the official website (Help/Learning Center section) where you can find detailed steps and examples. The interface also often has short hints and a wizard to guide you through the first use. The user community (Facebook, LIVRESQ Whatsapp) can also be a good place for advice.

Using Blocks (text, image, video, assessment, etc.)

To add text, insert a "Text Resource" into the section. In the editor, on the left panel, you'll find a list of content types – select "Text Resource" and drag it into the workspace. A text block will be created, which you can click on to start typing or adding the desired paragraphs. The text editor allows you to type directly and format the content as needed.

The text editor in LIVRESQ offers options similar to those in a standard word processor. You can format text with bold, italic, underline, create lists (bulleted or numbered), align text to the left/center/right, insert quotes or HTML code, and even add hyperlinks. Additionally, you can choose heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to highlight titles and subtitles. This gives you full control over the text's appearance, making it more readable and visually appealing.

To add an image, use the "Image" resource. In the editor, from the left panel, choose the "Image" type and drag the block into the section. Then, double-click the image block that appears or use the "Upload Image" button. A window will open where you can choose a file from your computer or select an image from "Stock Photos." After selecting the image, it will be uploaded and displayed in the lesson. You can later position the image as you wish within the sections.

The most common image formats are supported: JPEG/JPG, PNG, GIF, etc. These can be uploaded without issues. If you use PNG images with transparent backgrounds or animated GIFs, the platform will display them correctly. It is recommended to use high-quality images, but optimized in size (KB/MB) so as not to slow down lesson loading.

Poți redimensiona cu ușurință imaginea. În editor, după ce ai inserat imaginea, o poți edita accesând butonul „Editează Imaginea”, aici poți edita: filtre, decupare, întoarce, rotește, deseneaza, forme, texte, abțipilduri, redimensionare.

You use the Audio resource. You can find it in the list of resources and insert it into a section just like any other element. Once the audio block appears, click on “Upload audio” and select the file from your device (the recommended format is MP3). After uploading, an audio player with a play button will appear in the lesson, which learners can use to listen to the sound.

You can do this using the Video resource. In the editor, select the "Video Resource" type and place it on the desired page. Then, you have the option to upload a video file from your computer (commonly supported formats include MP4 – the most recommended), choose a stock video, or even generate your own video using Artificial Intelligence. Once uploaded, the lesson will display a video player for learners to use.

Yes. Although the Video resource in LIVRESQ is primarily intended for directly uploaded video files, you can embed clips from external platforms using the embed code. The easiest method is to use the HTML insertion function (iframe) in the text editor – simply copy the embed code provided by YouTube/Vimeo and insert it into a text block (switching the editor to HTML mode). This way, students can watch the video without leaving the lesson.

For audio, the most reliable format is MP3 (universally recognized by browsers). For video, MP4 (H.264) is the recommended format, as it offers high compatibility and a good quality-to-size ratio. Other modern formats (WebM, OGG) can also be played by browsers, but as a best practice, it is advised to convert videos to MP4.

In the list of blocks, you will find it as "Gallery" – insert it into the section, then in the gallery editor that appears, upload multiple images. The platform will automatically create a gallery (slider or carousel type) through which the learner can navigate. The images can be viewed in succession.

LIVRESQ offers a variety of interactive questionnaire types: multiple-choice questions (grid-type), true/false questions, drag-and-drop exercises, sorting items (rearranging elements in the correct order), open-ended questions, highlighting questionnaires (where the student marks certain areas in text or images), fill-in-the-blank text, crossword puzzles (letter matrices), etc. Each type serves a different purpose (knowledge checking, interactive practice, educational games), and you can choose the ones that are suitable for your lesson.

You use the Quiz resource. In the resource panel, select the "Questionnaire" type and add it to the section. A specific question editor will open. First, you choose the question type (e.g. "Multiple Choice" or another desired type). Then you enter the question requirement, the answer options, and mark the correct one. You can set whether the student sees immediate feedback and whether they are allowed multiple attempts. After saving, the quiz appears in the lesson as an interactive question that the student can solve.

In the quiz editor, choose the "Multiple Choice Question" type. Write the question statement (for example: "Which of the following…?"). Add answer options (you can have any number of options; there is an "Add Option" button to insert new rows). Check the correct answer (you can mark one or more answers as correct, depending on the question). Optionally, for each option you can set a feedback message that the student will see after answering (for example, "Correct, well done!" or "The answer is incorrect."). Finally, save the question. In the lesson, the student will be able to select the answer and check if he chose the correct option.

Within the Quiz resource, choose the “Drag-and-drop” type. This type of exercise allows you to create, for example, associations or ask the student to match elements with each other. In the drag-and-drop editor, you will usually have two lists or groups – you need to insert the elements (text or images) that need to be matched. For example, a list of terms and a list of definitions that the student should associate by dragging. You configure which element corresponds to which (so that the platform knows the correct answer). The student, in the lesson, will be able to drag the elements from one side to the other with the mouse (or finger on the tablet) to make the correlations, and then they can check if they have matched them correctly.

You choose the “Ordering” (sometimes also called “Sorting” or “Rearranging”) quiz type. In the question editor, you enter a series of elements (text or small images) that the student should put in the correct sequence. For example, the steps of a process mixed up or the chronological ordering of some events. You add them in the correct order, and the platform will display them mixed up to the student. The student will be able to drag them to the correct position (change the order) and then check if they got the correct sequence you set.

Yes, it is possible to add open-ended questions. In the quiz editor, you can choose the "Open-ended question" type. This will give the student a free space (a text field) in which to write the answer in their own words. This option is useful for reflection questions or short essays. Keep in mind that the platform cannot automatically evaluate open-ended answers (since it does not have an exact scale like closed-ended ones). Basically, the student writes down their answer, and if you use the lesson in an LMS, you will be able to consult the answers manually later. In a self-study context, open-ended questions can serve as thinking exercises, even if they are not automatically scored.

The highlighting quiz requires the student to mark (highlight) certain correct elements in a text. For example, you can ask the student to highlight key words or mistakes. In the quiz editor, you choose the "Highlight" type and enter the text and specify which words or areas are the correct ones to mark. The student, in the lesson, will be able to select those words with the mouse or click on certain areas. The platform will then indicate whether he highlighted the correct elements. This type of exercise is interactive and trains attention to detail.

The Matrix (Rebus) resource allows you to create a crossword puzzle or a simple rebus. Basically, the platform provides you with a grid (matrix) in which you can define the letters that appear and any clues. Typically, you fill in the words horizontally and vertically and provide clues for each word. The student will see the empty grid and will have to fill in the correct letters based on the clues given (like in a traditional rebus). When they are finished, they can check the solution. This type of resource is fun and useful for reviewing key terms.

The Accordion resource displays content in the form of collapsible panels, similar to an accordion menu. Each row has a visible section (a title or a question) and, when clicked, expands to reveal a hidden area (with details or an answer). It is useful for presenting information in bullet points that the student can expand one by one (for example: frequently asked questions, definitions that the student reveals one by one). To use it, insert the Accordion resource, then edit each row: enter the title (initially visible) and the corresponding hidden content. The student will be able to click on the titles to “unfold” the accordion and read the content.

The Tabs resource allows you to present content in multiple horizontal tabs, like in a web browser. When you insert such a block, you will be able to add multiple tabs, each with its own title and content. Only one tab is visible at a time, and the student can switch between them by clicking on the tab titles. This format is useful if you want to group information by category in a single space (for example: "Definition", "Example", "Explanation" as three tabs). As an author, you insert the Tabs resource, then name the tabs and put the content in each (text, images, etc.). The student will easily navigate between the tabs to see the different aspects.

The Labels resource allows you to add interactive markers over an image. Basically, you upload an image and place labels (dots or pins) on it that, when accessed, display explanatory text. It's like an image with informative hotspots. After you insert the Labels resource, it comes with an example (an image and a test marker) by default. Double-click to edit: upload your own image and add markers (e.g., click on the image where you want a dot and add a description for that point). The student will see the image with icons; when they hover or click on a marker, they will see the associated label (description). This resource is great for interactively explained diagrams or maps

The Attachment resource allows you to provide a file for download to the student. It can be any type of file: PDF, Word document, ZIP archive, PowerPoint presentation, etc. When you insert the Attachment resource, in the editor you double-click it and use the "Upload file" button to choose the desired file from your computer. You can also provide a short description or instruction (for example, "Download the worksheet here"). An icon (usually a document symbol) will appear in the lesson that the student can click to download the attached file. This is useful when you want to provide additional materials, printable PDF worksheets, or resources that cannot be presented directly in the lesson.

The Application resource is a container for external or custom interactive content. When you insert it, you can upload a mini-application (an HTML file or a web package) created by you or a specialist into the editor. For example, if you have an interactive simulation or animation made in another environment, you can integrate it as an "Application". Double-click on the Application resource and use "Upload another application" to upload the package (usually an HTML file + associated resources, in an archive). After uploading, the respective application will be displayed in the lesson. Basically, this resource gives you maximum flexibility: you can insert any web application (an educational game, a physics simulation, etc.) directly into the lesson page, without the student going to another site.

The Certificate resource generates a final diploma that the student can receive after completing the lesson. If you insert it into the project (usually at the end), you can customize a diploma template: it automatically includes the student's name, the lesson title, the score obtained, and the date. In the editor, after insertion, you can choose a design template for the certificate and configure variables (for example, whether you want the score to appear or not). When the student completes the lesson, the diploma becomes available - usually a "Download Certificate" button appears. The student can save the diploma as an image or PDF and even print it. It's a nice way to certify course completion.

To add a link, use the text editor or the element properties. In a text block, select the desired word or phrase with the mouse and then press the insert link button (the chain icon). Enter the URL you want to send to (it can be an external site, e.g. https://…) and confirm. The text will become blue underlined (default) and clickable. For images inserted into the Text resource or buttons, there are similar options in the properties panel – you can specify a target URL. This way, the student who clicks will be directed to the respective page or resource.

Organizing Content

A lesson is structured in sections, with each section acting as a chapter or subchapter. Simply add new sections for each desired chapter (e.g. "Introduction", "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc.). In the LIVRESQ editor, use the "Add" button when you have your project open to create more sections. You can name them suggestively and order them as you need. This way, your lesson will be logically divided, and the student can navigate through the content more easily by segments. 

In the project's section list (visible on the left of the editor), you can reorder sections by drag-and-drop: select the desired section with the mouse and move it to the desired place. The updated order will be the one in which the student will go through the lesson. For example, if you need a chapter at the end to become chapter 2, you can easily move it from the "Sections" menu.

LIVRESQ can generate a navigable table of contents using bookmarks. Basically, to have a table of contents, first add bookmarks to important section titles (the editor has a "Bookmark" button that you can apply to an element, usually the section or subchapter title). Then, go to the project level (the general lesson editing page) and select the "Table of Contents" option. There you will see the list of all the bookmarks added. You can choose which of the chapters or subchapters will appear in the table of contents. After you have moved the bookmarks to the table of contents, it will be saved and displayed in the lesson.

Bookmarks are marks that you can place inside sections on important items to help you navigate quickly. For example, you can bookmark the title of a subchapter or even a specific definition. These bookmarks have two uses: (1) they can be added to the lesson table of contents (as entries that the student can access from a menu) and (2) they can serve as destinations for internal links (for example, a “Continue” button that leads to the next bookmark). You add them by selecting the desired item and pressing the bookmark button (shaped like a star). Once created, you will see them listed when you configure the table of contents or in the “BOOKMARKS” tab on the right.

If you want the student to be able to jump from one part of the lesson to another (for example, a "Go to review" button that takes you directly to the last section), you can use bookmarks and buttons. Procedure: add a button (using a text block as a button). In the button properties, set the "Action" function to "Jump to bookmark" and choose the bookmark corresponding to the desired section/position. This way, when the student presses that button, the lesson will take them directly to the indicated chapter or segment. Alternatively, you can insert a hyperlink to another created resource or an external link. These internal navigations are useful for creating branches or allowing you to return to the table of contents.

A barrier is a tool for controlling the flow of a lesson. A barrier is placed between two elements (usually at the end of a section or quiz) and blocks progress until the student meets a certain condition, for example, completing an interactive activity. When you insert a barrier, it automatically “hooks” to the closest interactive resource above it (for example, a video clip). Until the student views the entire content (or interacts with the required element correctly), the barrier remains “closed” and does not allow them to move on. You can set a warning message such as “Continue after completing the exercise”. After the activity is completed, the barrier lifts (becomes “Open”) and displays a continue button or other text of your choice, allowing the student to move on to the next section. Essentially, a barrier helps you ensure that the student does not skip exercises and moves through the content sequentially.

The Assistant is an interactive element that displays a message in an animated/pleasant way, asking the student to interact (press a "Continue" button) to move forward. It is usually used to provide explanations or feedback in a friendly manner. When you insert a Message/Assistant, it appears as a character (for example, an avatar) that "speaks" a text that you enter. After the student has completed an activity, the assistant can be programmed to appear with a message (for example: "Congratulations, you have completed the chapter! Press continue."). The student reads the message and must click Continue (the button in the assistant's balloon) to move forward in the lesson. Until they do this, the lesson does not advance. Basically, the Assistant is similar to the Barrier, but it also provides a guiding message or feedback, in an attractive visual style.

LIVRESQ uses a row-and-column (cell) structure for pages. This means that you can organize your content into horizontal rows, which you can then divide into columns. For example, you want a row to have text on the left and an image on the right: you create a row with two cells, then place the text block in the first column and the image block in the second. In the editor, the structure area (left panel) includes structure elements such as "Row" and splitting options (e.g. row with 2 cells, 3 cells, etc.). You drag a row onto the page, then you can duplicate the cells as needed. However, we recommend that you do not insert more than 5 cells in a row. Then you add the desired resources in each column. This organization gives you flexibility in layout, allowing you to create attractive and easy-to-follow pages.

Initially, a section starts with a single full-width row (one full column). To add a new row, drag a structure type item from the left menu (for example, "Row with one cell"). Once the row is added, you can decide its structure: whether or not to add extra cells and resize them as needed. You can add additional rows to an existing cell to create a multi-row structure. In short, a "row" adds a new horizontal border to the page, and "columns" are the vertical divisions of that row.

The editor has copy/cut and paste functions. Select the element (resource) you want to copy – you will see in the top bar of the editor the buttons “Copy” (double tab) and “Cut” (scissors). If you choose “Copy”, the element is saved. Then go to the section (or even another project) where you want to duplicate it and press “Paste” (the clipboard button). The element will appear there with all its contents. Similarly, “Cut” will cut the element from its current location (remove it) and then you can paste it somewhere else (move). Also, if you want to move the entire section to another project, you can use the cut function from within the project. So you have the option of copying individual blocks as well as moving entire sections between lessons.

Yes, and it's quite simple. Open the desired project/lesson, select the section you want to reuse, press the copy button in the top bar. Then open the new project/lesson in which you want to insert the copied resource and press the "Paste" button. You can later arrange the newly inserted resource in the order you want. You can also add sections that were previously created, but that are not part of existing projects. To do this, open the project/lesson in which you want to add the new section, press the "Add from Organizer" button (the cloud with the down arrow), select the desired section, then press "Insert".

Yes. The platform offers a tag system. On the Resources page, you can assign previously created or newly created tags from the left side of the menu to your projects or sections (for example, "STEM", "Grade VII", "Demo", etc.). There is a "Tag" option that you can use for each resource, adding one or more descriptive tags. Later, you can use the filter bar: for example, filter the display of resources by the "STEM" tag to see only the lessons marked with this tag. This is useful when you have a lot of materials - you can quickly find everything related to a specific subject, class or theme based on the tags you set.

Yes. There is a Search bar at the top of the Resources interface. You can type a keyword (from the lesson title, description, or even metadata) and the platform will instantly filter for matching items. For example, if you are looking for a lesson titled “Ecosystems,” start typing “Eco” in the search and only resources that match the name or tag will appear. The search feature saves you from having to manually browse through long lists of projects, especially when you have a lot of materials in your account.

If you have added a block (text, image, video, etc.) and want to remove it, select it in the editor and press the "Delete" key on your keyboard or use the "Delete" (trash can) button in the top toolbar. The element will disappear from the section. To delete an entire row, select the row (using the "Select parent" button, until the desired element is selected) or directly with the mouse, then press the "Delete" button. This way, you can clean up or re-edit the lesson structure at any time, removing the useless parts.

It depends on your preference and your workflow. If you edit sections inside the project, you have the advantage of being able to easily navigate between chapters and see the context of the entire lesson. The editor shows you the complete structure and you can, for example, quickly jump from Section 1 to Section 2 from the top bar. On the other hand, you can choose to work on sections separately (by opening the section individually in Resources) – this mode isolates the section, which can be useful if you want to focus only on that chapter, collaborate on it independently, or reuse the same section more easily in multiple projects. Many authors edit directly in the project for the overview, but if you have a section that you use in multiple lessons, it is preferable to develop it as a separate resource and then insert it where needed.

Title pages are created like any section, usually the first section of the project is the cover. You can name the first section “Introduction” or “Cover” and insert representative elements into it: the title of the lesson (with a large text, title style), possibly an attractive image or logo, the author’s name and a short description of the lesson or instructions for the student. You can also use the representative image setting (see project preferences) which will be displayed as the background of the title in the lesson content. Basically, you treat the cover as a starting slide – you style it with the essential elements and possibly without barriers or tests, just informative and visually motivating.

To enforce sequential progress, you can use Barriers. That is, at the end of each crucial section, you insert a Barrier linked to an exercise, so that the student cannot press forward in the lesson until they have solved the previous requirements. This ensures that everyone goes through the lesson step by step, without being able to jump straight to the end.

If a section has become very long and you want to split it, LIVRESQ has a section split function. In the section editor, identify the point where you want to break (for example, before a specific subchapter). Then press the "Cut Mode" button (the tab cut with a horizontal dotted line). The platform will create a new section, moving all the content after the break point to the new section. You will now have two consecutive sections with the split content. Don't forget to rename the sections appropriately after the split.

You can do this manually by copying and pasting. Open the section that is going to be the last (for example Section 2) and the section you want to merge (Section 1). Copy the elements from Section 2 (select all the content or line by line and use "Copy"), then go to the end of Section 1 and use "Paste". The content of Section 2 will appear at the end of Section 1. Check that the arrangement is consistent. Then you can delete Section 2 from the project. This way, you have basically combined the two chapters into one. Just make sure that the order of the elements is correct and that you do not have duplicate resources.

Yes, you can create subchapters within a section. In LIVRESQ, the basic structure is project -> sections -> resources. You can organize subchapters by the way you structure your content within a section: for example, you use different level headings and bookmarks to mark them. With the help of bookmarks, you can create a detailed table of contents that looks like subchapters.

LIVRESQ automatically produces responsive content, meaning that elements are arranged adaptively on small screens. As an author, however, it's a good idea to check. The editor has the "Screen Simulation" function (a button that allows you to preview the lesson in different sizes: mobile, tablet, desktop). Use this tool to see if images are not too small on your phone, if text remains readable, and interactive elements fit. Typically, rows with multiple columns will be placed one under the other on mobile. The platform handles this automatically, so you don't have to do anything special, but it's a good idea not to cram too much content into narrow columns.

Yes, you can test the entire lesson before publishing by clicking the "Preview" button when the project is open, not the section.

All items added to a section are, in principle, visible to the learner. One trick is to insert a text block and write your notes there, then delete it before publishing. So, if you need to keep notes about what you still have to do or references, you can keep them in a separate document or on a text resource that you delete when the lesson is finished.

The Planning module is a feature available (for Premium accounts) that allows you to design your lesson in the form of a concept map, before actually adding the content. When you activate the “Planning” mode, the interface changes: instead of the traditional page, you will see a tree or diagram where you can add resources to create the structure of the lesson (such as section titles and main ideas). In short, Planning helps you logically structure the material, then the platform generates the skeleton of the lesson based on that map, which you will fill in with details.

Saving and Publishing

Yes. LIVRESQ has an autosave feature – the changes you make are saved periodically (almost in real time) on the server. In the top right corner of the editor you will often see a message with the last save time (“Saved X minutes ago”). This way you don’t have to worry about forgetting to save manually; each content addition or edit is saved automatically after a few seconds. This prevents losing progress, for example in case of accidental browser closure.

Because autosave works continuously, there is no traditional "Save" button for content.

All your materials are stored online, in your LIVRESQ account, on the platform's servers. This means that you can access the lessons from anywhere, as long as you log in to the site. You don't need to save local files for the lessons (unless you export them separately). Basically, the lessons are in the secure cloud space of your account and you see them organized in the "Resources" page. This is convenient because you don't risk losing your data if your PC breaks down and you can continue working from another computer without transferring anything.

Yes, because everything is stored online, your account is accessible from anywhere. Whether you log in from work or home, you will see the same projects. For example, you can start creating a lesson on the school computer and continue it in the evening on your personal laptop. The important thing is to have an internet connection and use a compatible browser. Since the data is in the cloud, there is no need to transfer it manually – just log in and you have access to everything.

Once the lesson is ready, you need to publish it for students to see. In the editor, on the project page, you will find the "Export" option for that project. You can choose to publish the lesson to your personal shelf by pressing the "Publish to Library (personal shelf)" button and later to the LIVRESQ Public library (by pressing the "Request publication" button available after accessing the lesson in your personal shelf in the library. Publishing to your personal shelf does not mean that everyone can see it. Basically, after publishing you will get a link or entry in the library that you and those who have access to the link can access.

The LIVRESQ Library is the online space where published lessons are listed. It has two components: the public library (lessons that authors have made visible to all users) and the Personal Shelf (your published lessons, visible only to you or those you share them with). When you publish a lesson, it ends up on your Personal Shelf, a kind of private shelf where you see your own materials. From there, you can decide to make them public or send them to specific people. The public library, on the other hand, is like a shared catalog – public lessons appear there and can be searched by anyone who accesses the library.

The simplest way is, after you publish the lesson, you get a link to it. You can give this link to your students (via email, WhatsApp, etc.). When students access the link, the lesson will open in their web browser and they will be able to follow it without having to log in. Also, if your school uses an LMS system, you can integrate the lesson there (see the export section).

Yes, after you have published it on your personal shelf in the library, you have the option to make it public. This means that your lesson appears in the LIVRESQ public library, available to anyone who enters the site. A public lesson can either be editable by other authors (if you allow it, they can duplicate and modify your version), or viewable only (non-editable, only read and browse). You choose this aspect when publishing. If you want it to be visible to anyone without restrictions, you set it to public and anyone with the link or searching for the title can access it. If you prefer it to remain private only for your students, you leave it published only on your personal shelf and only share the direct link with those interested.

If you have modified the lesson in the editor after publishing it, you will need to republish or update the published material. To do this, publish the modified lesson to your personal shelf, then click the "Overwrite" button. In the next step, identify the old lesson and click "Choose". It is recommended to republish every time you make important changes, so that all users have access to the latest version

The library has a version history tab for each published lesson. This means that when you update (overwrite) a lesson, the platform remembers that you had a previous version at a certain date. However, these versions are mostly informative – there is no easy mechanism to publicly restore the old version for students, it is simply a log. If you need to go back to an old version, you have to edit it manually or have kept a separate duplicate. Essentially, yes, the history exists, but not as a classic restoreable backup, but as a record of changes.

Publishing to the library means that the lesson remains on the LIVRESQ platform, accessible online. Exporting means generating a downloadable package (e.g. SCORM or HTML) to use outside the LIVRESQ platform. By publishing, your students will access the material through the library. By exporting, you can take the lesson and put it in an external LMS (Learning Management System). In short: publishing is for online distribution through the LIVRESQ ecosystem, exporting is for offline use or on other platforms.

Your personal shelf is private, only you have access to the lessons there, until you choose to share them or make them public. If you publish a lesson but leave it "Unpublished Publicly" (i.e. do not list it in the public library), it basically sits on your shelf and no one else can see or search for it. Other users cannot see the content in your account unless you give them permission by sharing the links to the lessons in your personal shelf. So, you have full control, no one looks at your personal shelf without permission.

When publishing to the public library, you have the option to choose whether the material is available in editable format or not by checking or unchecking the share source option. If you want your lesson to be reused by other teachers, check the share source box when you submit it for publication to your personal shelf.

If you want to withdraw a published lesson, go to the library in your personal shelf, find the lesson and click the "Delete" button. After deletion, the lesson will no longer be accessible even if someone tries to access it from a previously shared link. If you want to keep the lesson in your personal shelf, but not make it public, you can do so by clicking the "Unpublish" button.

The platform does not impose a fixed number of lessons published in the library, you can publish as many projects as you want. However, in the editor, if you have a free account, you can create 5 projects, while premium accounts have an unlimited number of projects.

The library is for viewing/sharing only. So, if you notice something to change in a published lesson, you go back to the editor (open the project in your account), make the changes, then republish the lesson to update the version in the library. Think of the published library as a “storefront”: to change the item in the storefront, you have to work in the workshop, then put the new version in the storefront.

It is recommended to fill in the metadata of the lesson: title (if not already correctly entered), a short description, subject or topic, grade level/age for which the lesson is intended, table of contents, relevant keywords. These details appear in the public library or on the lesson home page, helping others (or students) understand what it is about. You can also set the language of the lesson. Correctly filling in the metadata ensures a professional presentation of your material in the LIVRESQ library.

Yes. Publishing doesn't limit you to only doing it when everything is ready. You can publish a test or draft version of the lesson, preferably on your personal shelf, as incomplete lessons will not be approved in the Public Library. Remember to overwrite the lesson every time you add something, otherwise they will see the old version.

If you don't want anyone to access it, don't make it public in the general library. Keep it on your personal shelf and send the link only to your students, so only those with the link can access it.

The LIVRESQ platform itself does not show you the list of learners who have completed the lesson, but if you use the lesson through an LMS (via SCORM), then the LMS will know which user completed it and what score they obtained.

If your Premium membership expires and you return to your free account, your lessons remain in your account - they are not deleted. You retain access to all the materials you create. It's just that certain premium features (collaboration, extra space, etc.) will no longer be available, but the content of your work remains intact. If you delete your account completely, obviously, the lessons are lost. So subscription expiration does not delete your data, but limits you to the functionality of a free account.

Yes, you can share the project by adding a collaborator (if you have Premium) to the lesson, and they can make a duplicate in their account. Simple: publish the lesson and set it as editable, and the other user will find it in the public library and can click "Duplicate in my account". This way, they will have a separate copy in their account that they can modify independently.

Yes. All lessons in your account (in your personal shelf) are private by default, no one but you has access to them. LIVRESQ is a secure platform, and connections are encrypted, so the transmitted data is protected. The copies of the lessons stored on the server are also secured by the provider. Security also depends on your account password – be sure to use a strong password and not disclose it. In addition, the platform makes regular data backups, so the risk of losing your content due to technical problems is very small. So, you can trust that your lessons are kept confidential until you choose to publish them.

The easiest way is to use the Duplicate feature in your account – this way you have an internal backup copy. For example, before making major changes, duplicate the project (e.g. “Lesson X – backup”) and work on the original. If something goes wrong, you have the backup copy intact. Another method is to export the lesson (as SCORM or HTML) and save the package on your computer – not for editing, but as an archive of content.

Yes, now it's possible! To do this, access the desired lesson, use the "Export" button in the left bar, then select the PDF option. In the preview that appears, press the "Print PDF" button and then save or print the file directly. You will get a PDF file with the lesson structure, ideal for archiving or printing. It is important to note that the interactive elements (quizzes, animations, etc.) will be exported in static format, but the essential content will be rendered clearly and organized.

Navigating the Platform

The LIVRESQ interface is divided into two major areas: the Workshop and the Library. The Workshop is where you create and edit lessons, courses, and open educational resources – here you have your list of components (projects, sections, resource types). The Library is where you publish and access completed lessons – it includes your personal shelf and the public library (lessons from other authors). In addition, there is the Profile/Account Settings section (where you can manage your account information). When you log in, you usually end up in the Workshop (with the list of projects). From there you can switch to the Library to view published materials.

After logging in, go to the Atelier -> My Resources section. There you will see the folder and file structure of your account. Projects (lessons) appear as icons (for example, a book or folder icon with the name below). If you have not organized them into folders, they will be listed directly. You can use the search bar or simply scroll through the list. Also, if you have recently entered a material, the project will be displayed in the Recent section on the Atelier home page for quick access. In conclusion, all your projects are in Atelier, Resources tab – there you navigate like in a file and folder explorer to find the desired lesson.

"Home" in LIVRESQ (in the context of the Workshop) presents a general panel: it contains quick creation buttons (e.g. "Create a new project", "Create a section"), the last lessons you have edited, possibly available templates and news/announcements from the platform. It is like a main page that gives you starting points. From there you can enter your Resources, you can see news.

When you open a project in the editor, the screen is divided into several areas: on the left you have the list of elements (includes tabs for Structure and Resources: from here you drag text blocks, images, quizzes, etc., characters, puzzles, as well as structure elements – rows, columns). In the middle is the workspace – the lesson page where you actually place the content and see it arranged. On the right is the properties panel – when you select an element on the page, its settings and properties appear here (style, color, alternative text, actions, etc.). And at the top is the toolbar (general toolbar) – contains buttons for general actions (undo/redo, preview, zoom, add section, project information, etc.) and for navigating between open projects/sections (tabs). All these areas work together: you choose an element on the left, put it in the middle, then configure it on the right.

The top toolbar contains multiple useful buttons:

  • Undo/Redo buttons – to return to a previous action or redo an undone one.
  • A Planning (mind-map) menu – available in Premium accounts, switches the lesson view to a conceptual format.
  • A button for Section Properties – when active, the right panel shows the settings of the entire section (background, general settings), not just the selected element.
  • Export Item button – allows quick export of the selected item (for example, you can export a section directly to Resources as a separate unit).
    Rename button – allows you to change the title of the current section.
  • Split section button – to divide the current section into two (split).
    Bookmark button – adds a bookmark to the selected item (for table of contents/navigation).
  • Preview button (usually an "eye" or "play" icon) – to see the section in a view as the student sees it.
  • Zoom Control – to zoom in/out the page display in the editor, useful for precisely arranging elements.
  • Outlines button – once activated, draws guides and outlines around each structural element (row/column) so you can see exactly the page structure, useful for complex layouts.
  • Screen Simulation button – allows you to preview the layout on various screen sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop).
  • Save information – usually to the right of the bar, see "Saved x minutes ago"

Thus, the toolbar is the command center for global actions, navigation between tabs (open projects/sections), and quick access to editing and checking functions.

In the editor, press the "Preview" button. This will open the current section in a player mode, in a separate window/pop-up or panel, depending on where you are in the editor. This way you can interact with it like a student: you can click buttons, answer questions, etc., without leaving the editor. If you want to preview another section, navigate to it in the editor and then press preview again. To test the entire lesson, it is best to use the preview mode for each section in turn (or publish the lesson to your Shelf and go through it in its entirety). Previewing helps you immediately check the appearance and functionality, so you can quickly return to editing for adjustments.

The editor supports working with multiple tabs. At the top, just below the toolbar, you will see tabs (labels) with the names of the projects/sections you have open. Each tab represents either a project (if you have the entire project open) or an independent section. To switch, just click on the desired tab – the editor content will change to that project/section. You can also quickly open another project/section by clicking on the LIVRESQ logo (top left) or the “+” button in the tab area, which allows you to select another resource to open. Basically, it works like navigating a browser with multiple pages: you have multiple lessons or chapters open and jump between them with a single click on the tab.

If you are in editing mode and want to go back to the resource "explorer", you have two options: either click on the LIVRESQ logo in the top left corner. Clicking on the platform logo will usually take you out of the editor and take you to the Atelier -> Resources page, where you see the list of all your lessons again. Don't worry, the project auto-saved when you leave the editor. So, to navigate back to all projects, use the logo as a "Home".

At the top of the Resources (Workshop) page is a Search bar. If you have a lot of projects, you can start typing the name of a project or a keyword – the list will instantly filter and show you only the resources that match your search term. For example, if you type “Europe”, you will see all the materials that contain that word. The search function searches through the titles of the resources and their metadata. This is very useful for quickly locating a specific material in a large collection.

On the Resources page, look for the "Create Directory" option or a button with a folder icon and a plus. Press it and you'll be able to name the new folder (e.g., "Math" or "Grades 5-8"). Once the folder appears in the list, you can move resources into it: either by drag-and-drop (grab a project from the list and drag it over the folder icon), or by selecting it and choosing the "Move" command -> select the target folder. This way you can group your projects by subjects, school years, or whatever criteria you prefer. Folders can contain projects as well as sections or media, so you can organize everything hierarchically like on your personal computer.

There are two ways:

  • By dragging and dropping: in the Resources list, simply grab (click and hold) the desired lesson or resource and drag it over the folder you want to move it to, then release the click. The lesson will be included in that folder.
  • With the Move option: select the resource (by clicking or right-clicking -> context menu) and choose "Move". A small dialog will open in which you select the destination (choose the desired folder from the hierarchical structure) and confirm. The resource will disappear from its original location and will appear in the target folder. This way, you can always reorganize your materials if you want to structure them differently (for example, move a project from the "Sketches" folder to "Finished" after you have finished working on it).

In the platform interface, at the top right, you will see "My Account" and a profile icon. By clicking on it, a drop-down menu appears where one of the options is "Logout". Click and you will be logged out, returning to the login page. Important: after you finish using the platform on a public computer, log out so that someone else cannot access your account.

Yes. LIVRESQ supports a multi-language interface (e.g. English, Polish, Croatian, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Dutch, Hungarian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese, Greek, Korean, Arabic). In the public library, in the upper right corner, there is a language selector (maybe a globe or the initials of the language).

Enter the Profile/Account section – accessible from the menu that appears when you click on “My Account”. There you can edit details such as your display name, email address, password, etc. To change your password, look for the “Change Password” option – you will enter your current password, then your new password twice and save it. If you have forgotten your password, there is a “Forgot your password?” option on the login screen that will send you a reset email. In your profile you can also find other settings, such as your preferred language, email notifications, etc. Don’t forget to save the changes you made before leaving the page.

It is recommended to use a modern and up-to-date browser, such as Google Chrome (the most commonly used and tested), Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. Safari on Mac also works well. Avoid old browsers (Internet Explorer is not supported) or outdated versions, as the platform uses modern web technologies that work optimally on current browsers. Chrome usually offers the best compatibility and performance with editing and previewing tools. Regardless of your choice, make sure your browser is up-to-date for maximum security and functionality.

LIVRESQ has some built-in support resources: there is often a “Help” or “?” button or link somewhere in the interface (possibly the bottom right corner, or in the profile menu). This can take you to the official documentation (an online manual) or to a FAQ section. Also, on the official LIVRESQ website there is a Learning/Help Center page with step-by-step guides, webinars, in the Training area. If you encounter technical problems, you can also use the contact form or the platform’s technical support address. In addition, there are communities (groups of LIVRESQ teacher users, forums) where you can ask and receive advice. So, directly in the platform you have links to the guide, and outside of it, the company’s website offers a PDF manual, video tutorials and email support.

In the interface, go to the Library section or type in the browser window: library.livresq.com There you will see two tabs: News (recently published lessons) and possibly Recommended, plus the option to search. You can browse the categories or use the search bar to find lessons by subject, class or keywords. When you find a lesson, click on it – the lesson page will open with a description and an “Open lesson” button. Once opened, you can browse it as a user. If you want to use it in your account, check if it is editable (and duplicate it). The public library is basically a central catalog with materials shared by the community.

No, unfortunately not. LIVRESQ is a web application that runs on a server, so you need an internet connection to access and use it. Editing lessons, saving and previewing are done online. If you know you will be without internet, you can export the lesson to HTML to view it offline, but you cannot edit offline and then sync – there is no offline desktop application. So make sure you have a stable connection when you work. If you temporarily lose connection, the editor will try to save when the internet comes back (and will warn you in case of disconnection). But completely offline (disconnected) you will not be able to access the Workshop.

On the LIVRESQ website, there is a “Contact” section, a dedicated email: help@livresq.com and a support number. The safest thing to do is visit the official Livresq page and look for the contact details for support. Send us a message with your problem or question – the support team usually responds during business hours. You can also check the frequently asked questions (FAQ) section on the website, maybe you will find the answer there without having to wait for the team to respond. In summary: there is support via email and phone, and the link to them is available on the platform’s website.

Yes. Being browser-based, LIVRESQ works regardless of the operating system, as long as you have a compatible browser. On Mac, you can use Safari or Chrome/Firefox – the platform will work the same as on Windows. On Linux, the same, with updated Chrome or Firefox. There is no need to install anything specific for Windows or Mac. Just make sure you are using a modern browser. So you can work on Windows at school and on Mac at home without any differences. The platform is cross-platform by its web nature.

In the editor, look in the upper right corner of the work window (the top bar). There you will see a small text like "Last saved at HH:MM:SS" or "Saved X minutes ago". LIVRESQ displays the timestamp of the last successful save. For example, if you have just written something, after a few seconds the text will say "Saved a few seconds ago". This indicator gives you peace of mind that the changes have been recorded. In case you lose connection, the save message will signal the error (e.g. "Save failed!") - at which point you know that what you have worked on since the last save may be at risk. But as long as that corner shows a recent time, you are assured that your work is stored.

In the Resources list, projects and sections appear with small icons indicating their type: a book or folder icon suggests a project (entire lesson), a page indicates a section, a thumbnail indicates a media file (image), a “play” triangle indicates a video, a musical note for audio, a checklist for a quiz, etc. Also, if a resource is shared, you see the icon with two people, if it is marked with a special label a tag may appear. The icons help you visually distinguish between types (you immediately know that “Manual Bio” with a book icon is a project, and below it “Chapter 1” with a page icon is a section). At the same time, the List view also shows details such as the modification date or labels next to the icons.

Yes, there are filtering tools. On the Resources page, usually above the list or to the side, you have filtering options:

  • By type: You can choose to see only projects, only sections, only media, etc. (Some interfaces have buttons or tabs: "All", "Projects", "Sections", "Files").
  • By tags: If you used tags, you can select a tag from a "Tagged as..." menu and then you will only see resources with that tag.
  • After sharing: There are filters “Shared with me” or “Shared by me” – to highlight collaborative resources.

This, combined with search, allows you to narrow down the list to just what you're interested in. For example, you can choose the "Projects" filter and the "Biology" tag to see only biology projects. These filters make browsing through accounts with large amounts of content much more efficient.

In the Public Library, the News tab lists the most recent lessons published by users. It’s like a timeline of new contributions. There you can see the latest lessons added, regardless of category. They’re usually displayed with a title, a featured image, and a short excerpt. News lets you discover newly created content—for example, if someone published a chemistry lesson today, you’ll see it there. For teachers, it’s a great place to explore new ideas posted by the community.

The Recommended section (if any) contains lessons highlighted by the LIVRESQ team or popular among users. These can be materials of exceptional quality or very useful, hand-picked by the platform editors or determined by good ratings. Basically, "Recommended" is a suggestion board - if you don't know what to look for, the lessons there could be a good starting point, being considered valuable. They are also visible to encourage authors (to publicly recognize their successful lessons). As a user, the section can quickly offer you the most appreciated lessons, so that you don't have to search through hundreds of entries.

Settings and Customization

Yes. In the editing mode of a project, there is a section of Preferences or Graphical theme of the material. There you can choose the main colors of the lesson interface (e.g. the color of the top bar, buttons, accents). LIVRESQ offers several default themes that you can apply with one click or allows you to customize the background color, navigation text color, etc. For example, you can set a theme in your school colors – blue background and yellow buttons. These settings are usually found in the left menu (at the project level) under the option “Theme”. Once set, the theme is applied uniformly to all sections of the lesson.

You have three levels of background: the general background of the project, the section background, and the background on specific segments. To change the background of the entire section, use the “Section Properties” button – in the right panel you will see options for Background color and Background image. You can choose a solid color (via the color picker) or you can upload a background image. For example, you can put a discreet pattern or a pale photo as a background. Make sure that the text remains readable over that background (you can adjust the transparency of the image or the color of the text). Also, at the row level, if you want a different background only on a specific segment, select that row and set its background color/image in the properties. The platform thus gives you the flexibility to give each part of the lesson a nice look.

The logo is set in the Project Preferences (Workshop, then Preferences). You will find a “Logo” option where you can upload an image (usually a PNG file with a transparent background) that represents your school, institution, or personal brand. Once added, the logo usually appears at the bottom of the lesson menu or on the title page, depending on the graphic theme. For example, in a published lesson, the student may see your school logo in the corner of the screen or on the cover. It is a way of personalization and branding. If you later want to change or remove it, go back to the settings and edit the logo file.

In the editor, at the project level, there is a special section called Metadata. There you can fill in the title of the lesson (if you want it different from the name of the project file), you can add one or more authors (for example, your name and the names of the collaborators), a short description of the content, the subject, the grade level, keywords, etc. To access this page, you often have to exit the section editing (click on the project name or on a "Metadata" button in the menu). The data entered here appears before the learner accesses the lesson - for example, in the LIVRESQ library, this information describes the lesson. After you fill in, save the metadata. These details help organize and inform those who will use the lesson. These details passed to the metadata are further communicated through the SCORM package.

Metadata is information about the lesson, not the content of the lesson itself. It includes: the title (the full name of the lesson), the authors (who created it), a description (a summary or purpose of the lesson), categories such as the subject (e.g. Biology), the educational level (e.g. Grade 9), the language of the lesson, search keywords, nomenclature. Metadata is important because it appears in the public library and helps others find and identify the material. Also, when a student opens the lesson, they can see the title screen with the author and description – guiding them about what they are going to learn.

Yes. By default, the Assistant comes with a generic avatar (a standard animated character). In the Assistant Configuration settings (in the project menu) you can choose a different assistant. You can upload an image/static or GIF/animated of your favorite character (or even a short video) to replace the default avatar. There are two basic “poses” of the assistant: for example, the neutral position and the speaking position – you will need to replace both of them if you want a fully customized avatar. You can add as many poses as you need, for example: happy, angry, questioning, looking, etc. You can also choose to use a voice assistant (that speaks the text). In conclusion, if you want, instead of the standard mascot, to appear, for example, the school logo or a virtual teacher, you are free to change that graphic in the project settings.

The platform offers two styles of assistant presentation: Classic and Modern. In Classic mode, the assistant (avatar) "floats" over the content, usually in the corner of the screen, and has a separate dialog bubble in which the message text appears. The "Continue" button is part of that bubble. In Modern mode, the assistant appears integrated into the page, usually next to the element it is talking about. It looks like a natural part of the page, and the Continue button is below it, framed in the page flow. On mobile, the modern mode fixes the assistant at the bottom in a bar along with the message. Basically, the difference is in style and positioning: Classic = superimposed assistant, moveable on the screen; Modern = assistant framed in the layout. You can choose your preferred mode in the assistant configuration settings, depending on how you want the messages to appear for students.

In the Project Preferences, there is an option where you can select which screen sizes the content is allowed to run on. By default, all are allowed (desktop, tablet, mobile). But, for example, if your lesson has complex elements that do not look good on a phone and you want it to be accessed only from a computer, you can uncheck the phone option. This will cause the lesson to refuse to run on a small screen, possibly displaying a message that a larger screen is needed. Similarly, you can exclude tablets or vice versa, exclude desktop (less common). This setting is useful if you want to control the experience – but keep in mind that by restricting, some students will not be able to access if they do not have the right device.

Yes, there are options in the project display preferences regarding the title bar/menu. You can choose to hide the title bar (the top one that contains the lesson title and navigation buttons). For example, if you want the lesson to appear full-screen without a menu, you can do that - the student will only navigate through your content buttons (that you put in) or sequentially. You can also choose to hide the table of contents (chapter menu), so that the student cannot freely jump between sections. All of these options are found in the project settings (sometimes under "Top bar behavior"). For example, you can set the Navigation bar to "Show" or "Hide". If you hide it, the lesson will launch directly on the content, without a header, which can be useful for embedding or if you want to fully control the navigation.

In the general project preferences, there is a toggle like "Show student progress". If you enable it, in the menu or lesson bar the student will see an indicator (for example, a percentage or a bar) that shows them how much of the lesson they have completed. For example, "35% complete" and a partially filled progress bar. If you don't want this, disable the option. When disabled, the student does not have a numerical indication of progress, but only goes sequentially. Some authors prefer to hide the progress so that the student does not know exactly how much is left (so that they do not get demotivated if it is a lot) or for simplified design reasons. So, you control this in the settings - the progress display is customizable.

Yes, you can specify an expiration date for the lesson. In the project metadata or preferences page, there is a field called "Lesson Expiration Date". If you set it (for example, 06/30/2026), then after that date the lesson will no longer be accessible to students - the link will basically become inactive. This functionality is useful if you want the material to be available only for a certain period of time or if it is an assessment that should not be accessed later. Be sure to notify students if you use this. Until that date, the lesson behaves normally; upon expiration, those who try to open it will receive a message that the lesson is no longer available. If you want to reactivate it, you can extend the date or remove the expiration.

The featured image is like a cover or thumbnail of the lesson used in the library. You can set this on the metadata page: there is a field where you can upload a featured image. Ideally, you choose something suggestive of the lesson content (for example, a relevant photo or graphic). This image appears in the public library as a thumbnail and on the title screen of the lesson before it starts (depending on the theme). If you don't set anything, the platform may use a standard screen (for example, the title on a plain background). Adding a cover image will make your lesson look more attractive in listings and attract the attention of learners.

The “Outlines” button visually highlights all structural elements (rows, columns, blocks) with a border. When you have complex pages with many sections and columns, it can be difficult to figure out exactly where an element begins and ends just by looking at the content (because many backgrounds can be transparent). By enabling outlines, the editor draws thin colored lines around each container. This way you can clearly see the DOM structure of the page – for example, you can see the borders of each row and column. This is very useful for alignment and to avoid accidentally placing something in the wrong column. When you are finished arranging, you can turn off outlines to see the final layout without those guides.

After you have added the Certificate resource to the project, you can configure its style. In the editor, by double-clicking on the Certificate resource, the editing window opens: here you have the option "Choose template" - LIVRESQ offers several models. You choose the template you like. Then you can customize elements such as: the background image of the certificate (you can put the school logo in the background, for example), the texts and colors of the texts, whether to display the score or not, whether the student's name should be large, etc.

Yes. On the lesson metadata page, in the “Author” field, you can enter multiple names. Usually, you separate them with a comma, or there is an “Add Author” button that allows you to insert additional fields. So, if a lesson is made by a team (two or three teachers), you can mention all of them. When the lesson is published, all past authors will be displayed. Warning: this does not automatically grant editing access (editing requires sharing, it is only visible information in the presentation). It is important, however, for recognition – all contributors can be listed as authors.

In addition to title, author, and description, other metadata fields are worth filling out:

  • Discipline/Subject: select or write the subject (e.g. History, Physics).
    Grade Level/Age: specify the target audience (e.g. 10th grade or 16-17 years old).
  • Duration: estimate of the time needed for the student to complete the lesson (e.g. "45 minutes" or "2 hours" - the platform may provide a list or free).
  • Keywords: relevant terms (e.g. "Ecosystem, biodiversity, environment" for a biology lesson) – helps with searching.
  • Content language: e.g. Romanian, English, if the lesson is in a specific language.
  • Domain/Syllabus/Nomenclature: optionally, you can mention the chapter in the syllabus it covers.

All of these details improve the classification and retrieval of the lesson in the public library. They also provide context for students on the level and topic.

In the properties of quiz resources there is often a checkbox "Participate in scoring". If this option is enabled, the result of that quiz will be included in the calculation of the final score of the lesson (for SCORM reports, for example). If you uncheck it, then that quiz is considered only a non-graded exercise - the student can receive feedback, but their score is not added to the lesson total. This is useful for example for survey questions or training exercises that you do not want to count towards the final grade. So, "Participate in scoring = Yes" makes it part of the formal assessment of the learner, "No" makes it only interactive, with no impact on the overall score.

In the quiz editor, for each answer option there is a Feedback button (a speech bubble icon or a dedicated field) – here you can write the message you want the student to see if they choose that option. For example: for the correct answer you write "Correct! You understood correctly.", and for the wrong one "It's not correct, think again. Review the theory on page ..." The student will receive this feedback immediately after answering (if the test is configured to show it). Also, at the question level, some quizzes allow general feedback (e.g. at the end of the test to appear "You got 8/10, well done."). Customizing the feedback helps you provide additional explanations and guidance to the student, turning the test into a learning opportunity. Each type of item has its own way of adding feedback in the editor, but most have this possibility.

LIVRESQ strives to facilitate accessible content, but the responsibility for accessibility also lies with the author. The platform allows you to add alternative texts (other text) for images (in the image properties, "Description" field - here you write a short description of the image for those who cannot see it). Students with visual impairments who use screen readers will benefit from these descriptions. The fonts and colors used by the platform are chosen for readability, and students can enlarge the page in the browser if they need to (zoom). Therefore, you can make the lesson more accessible by taking care to put descriptions on the media, not to base the information only on color or sound, and to offer alternatives (e.g., transcript of an audio). The platform provides technical support (HTML semantics is accessible), but you must implement good inclusive design practices.

Lesson performance depends a lot on optimizing your media. Here are some tips:

  • Optimize images: upload images sized as you need (not huge images that you then display small) and compressed (use JPG format for photos, PNG for simple graphics, and compress the quality as needed).
  • Efficient video: If you have large videos, consider hosting them on YouTube and embedding them, or if you upload them directly, compress them (720p resolution is often sufficient for lessons).
  • Split the content: A very long lesson in one section can take longer to load. It's better to split it into separate sections that load one at a time.
  • Test as a student: Preview the lesson on a normal connection. Notice where delays occur and adjust (e.g., if an audio starts slowly, the file may be too large).
  • No unnecessary elements: remove any non-essential scripts or external inserts that can slow down loading times.

In general, LIVRESQ manages loading well (elements preload in the background), but following these practices ensures that students – even those with weaker internet – will have a fluent experience.

Yes, the viewing interface (what the student sees) can be changed to another language. By default, if the lesson is created in Romanian, the interface (texts like "Continue", "Back to Contents") is in Romanian. But if you have English-speaking students and you want the buttons to be in English, you can set the lesson interface language to English. This setting can be found in Preferences. Thus, the platform supports an international audience, adapting the interface language as needed.

Directly, the platform does not allow the injection of free script into the lesson pages for security reasons. However, you can insert restricted HTML code through the text editor (for example, embedding an iframe, such as a YouTube video, or an external widget). For complex scripts, the solution is the Application resource: basically, you create a mini-HTML page with the desired script and upload it as an Application – this way your code runs in isolation in
that container. In short, you can't edit the source of the lesson page directly, but through Application or iframe in the text you can include almost any web content. Just make sure the sources are reliable and compatible. This is useful if you want to integrate, for example, a HTML5 game you made yourself – you put it as Application and you basically have unlimited custom code in the lesson.

The platform provides CSS for the entire project and then for each section, resource in turn. For example, for each resource type there is a place where you can add additional CSS code, on the right side "Advanced Styling" to style the elements.

Your account has a certain storage capacity, especially in the free plan. Each uploaded file (image, video, audio) consumes this space. If you try to upload a very large file and exceed the limit, the platform will warn you. There is also usually a size limit per file (e.g., they may not let you upload more than 200 MB at once). The recommendation is to compress your media and not upload unnecessarily large content. If you need more space, a Premium subscription will expand it. The used space/percentage occupied is displayed in the Editor. Organizing into folders does not affect space, it is only aesthetic. So, work efficiently: delete files you no longer use from your resources and optimize your media to fit within the limits.

Da, în platforma LIVRESQ ai posibilitatea de a alege tipul de font la nivel de proioect cât și în interfața de lucru, din resursa de tip Text. Are acolo un panou dedicat.

When you add or edit a text block, you can select from a list of web-safe fonts, carefully chosen to ensure readability and compatibility across devices. Available fonts include: Arial, Comic Sans, Courier, Georgia, Lucida Sans, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana.

This feature allows you to customize the style of your lesson while maintaining a professional and consistent look. The font can be applied to each block of text, depending on your pedagogical or design needs. Remember: choosing a legible and clear font remains especially important for lessons aimed at students with learning difficulties.
