Feature Request: Add “Exercise” Module to Support Non-Graded Practice Tasks Course Builder

Can we please add a new content type called “Exercise”, alongside existing types like Lesson and Quiz. The “Exercise” category will allow instructors to create practice-based modules with one or more trackable assignments inside.

Key Functionality

  • Each Exercise can contain multiple assignments.
  • Learners can mark each assignment as completed individually.
  • Progress can be tracked at both Exercise and Assignment levels.
  • These assignments could be graded or non-graded, meant for practice and skill building.

This will help us separate practical activities from lessons and assessments more effectively.

Use Case: Adding “Exercise” as a Content Type Purpose:

Course Type Exercise Example Assignment Examples Programming “Practice: Loops & Conditions” Write a loop, debug a function, predict output Language Learning “Vocabulary Practice – Food” Match word to image, fill in blanks, sentence writing Business Skills “Email Writing Practice” Write a subject line, edit for tone, draft a full email Health & Fitness “Healthy Habits Tracker” Log meals, write reflections, complete habit checklist
