We are thrilled to announce a major update to our course-building experience. Based on learning best practices and in response to popular demand, we are launching an enhanced Content builder designed to help you create deeply engaging, professional-grade learning content with ease.
At CYPHER, we believe effective learning isn’t just about delivering information—it’s about supporting learning and driving impact. Our new tools are built on proven instructional design principles to help you combat "the wall of text" and keep your learners focused.
Why you’ll love the new Content builder
The new builder introduces a widget-based structure that brings interactivity to your pages without requiring a single line of code.
- Combat cognitive overload: Use our new layout and discovery tools to break complex subjects into "chunks" that the human brain can easily process.
- Support all learning styles: Whether your learners prefer visual, reading, or kinesthetic interaction these new elements allow you to mix and match styles to improve retention.
- Boost attention spans: With the average desktop attention span sitting at just 47 seconds, use our interactive widgets to force active participation to keep learners from drifting away.
- Complete accessibility: All new widgets meet WCAG accessibility requirements and are fully compatible with Immersive Reader, ensuring an inclusive experience for every learner.
New interactive elements
Transform your static pages into dynamic experiences with these new drag-and-drop widgets:

Tabs & accordions |
Implement progressive disclosure by revealing information in smaller bites over time, preventing learner overwhelm. |
|
Flip boxes & flashcards |
Encourage active discovery by requiring learners to click to reveal information, which significantly improves knowledge retrieval. |

Highlight key examples or important notes so they don't get lost in the flow of a lesson. |
What’s next?
- Availability: These features will be live in your platform March 30.
