# Add Course Content

With your course outline now created, content can be added for each lesson.

Click on the **Pencil** icon next to the **Lesson** you want to add content to. On the right side of the page, the **Lesson Content** tab will be pre-selected. You can update the **Title**, **Summary** and **Body Text** of that lesson.

Once you have made the required updates, click the **Save** button.

Under the **Activity Setup** tab you can set your **Prerequisite** for the lesson. If a prerequisite is set, learners must satisfy these prerequisites before the activity is available to start in the course.

Select a **Requirement** that learners must satisfy before the activity is considered complete.

**Activity Type** lists the different lesson types you can have in a course. You can select a different lesson type by selecting the field next to the type name.

* **Lesson:** A standard lesson where learners can go through content and materials.
* **Assessment:** A quiz or test to assess the learner's knowledge.
* **Survey:** A survey that collects feedback or information from learners.
* **Document:** A downloadable file or resource, such as a PDF.
* **Link:** A clickable link that directs learners to an external website.
* **Video:** A video lesson or content that you can embed for learners to watch.
* **Single-Question Quiz:** A single-question quiz could be used for either a speed typing test or a data capturing test.
  * For a speed typing test, the question could be about typing a sentence or a set of characters as quickly and accurately as possible, with the test measuring typing speed or accuracy.
  * For a data capturing test, the question could involve entering specific information (like text, numbers, or selections) from a given dataset, testing the learner's ability to accurately capture or transcribe data.

In the **Activity Name** field, you can update or rename the lesson.

You have the option to make lessons adaptive by selecting **Adaptive** under **Activity Settings**. When **Adaptive** is selected, the lesson will be hidden in the course until the lesson is unlocked..

Click **Save** button after all changes were made.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/courses/add-content/add-course-content.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
