Embedded Content · iFrame lessons
Turn any external tool into a lesson inside your course
Paste a secure link and any web page, interactive widget, slide deck, or third-party tool becomes a full lesson — learners use it right inside your course, with nothing to upload and nothing to store.
- Zero upload, zero storage
- HTTPS-only & sandboxed
- Fits any lesson layout
Paste a link. Get a lesson.
An embed is just a secure URL — so it adds rich, interactive content to your course without weighing it down.
The idea
What is an embedded (iFrame) lesson?
An embedded lesson is an external web page that lives inside your course. Instead of sending students off to another site, you frame the tool right in the player — so they open it, use it, and keep learning without ever leaving your platform.
- External content renders inside your own lesson frame
- Learners stay on your platform the whole time
- The platform saves only the URL and a couple of display settings
- Works with any page or app that runs in a browser
Anything in a browser
What you can embed as a lesson
If it opens over a secure link, it can become a lesson. Here are the four you will reach for most.
Interactive widgets
Calculators, simulations, maps, and mini-apps that learners click through in place.
Slide decks
Present a hosted slide deck as a lesson so students flip through it inside the course.
Third-party tools
Whiteboards, coding sandboxes, forms, and design tools — dropped straight into the lesson.
Pages & dashboards
Any external web page or live dashboard your course needs to show, framed cleanly.
Three steps
From a link to a live lesson
No embed codes to hunt down, no files to upload — just paste, size, and publish.
Paste a secure URL
Add an embed lesson to a course section and paste the HTTPS link to the page or tool you want to show.
Set the frame size
Choose an aspect ratio and a height so the embedded tool fits your lesson layout perfectly.
Publish it
Keep it as a draft while you set it up, then flip it to published the moment it is ready.
Fits your frame
Size the embed to your lesson
Set an aspect ratio and a height and the same embed sits cleanly in your lesson — never breaking the page.
Widescreen video & decks
The 16:9 ratio suits slide decks, videos, and most modern web tools.
The same link, framed four different ways — pick what fits the lesson.
Classic apps & docs
A 4:3 frame fits documents, older tools, and portrait-friendly widgets.
The same link, framed four different ways — pick what fits the lesson.
Compact widgets
A 1:1 square is ideal for small interactive widgets and quick calculators.
The same link, framed four different ways — pick what fits the lesson.
Set your own height
Prefer an exact height? Set it in pixels and the frame follows your lesson layout.

Safe by default
Secure, sandboxed, and isolated
Embedding outside content should never put your platform or your learners at risk. So every embed is locked down from the start — only encrypted links get in, and each one renders in its own sandbox.
- Only encrypted HTTPS links are accepted
- Every embed renders sandboxed in the player
- Isolated from the rest of your platform and learner data
One continuous flow
An embed is just another lesson type
It sits in a course section right beside your other lessons — learners move straight into it as one continuous experience.
Mix and match every lesson type inside a single course section.

Let students try it before they buy
Mark an embed lesson as free and it carries a free-preview badge — so prospective students can play with the interactive content before they enroll, and see exactly what they are paying for.
- Flip any embed lesson to free with one setting
- A free-preview badge shows it is open to everyone
- Prospects experience the tool, then convert
Full visibility
One inventory of every embed
A single screen lists every embedded lesson across all your courses — so nothing is ever hidden or forgotten. See which course and section it lives in, who owns it, and exactly which external host it points to.
- The course and section each embed lives in
- The owner or teacher behind every lesson
- The external host and path being served
- Search by title, code, course, or URL
Governance
Know exactly what you serve
Because every embed shows its host, you always know what outside content your platform is delivering — and you can review it in seconds.
Filter by host
Instantly pull up every lesson that embeds a given external service across your whole catalog.
Every source, visible
Each embed shows its host and path, so no external content is ever invisible.
Export for audits
Download the full embed inventory as PDF or CSV for reporting and compliance records.
Fast security review
Run a quick compliance pass over everything you embed, whenever you need to.
Manage without leaving
Everything you need, from one list
Handle every embed straight from the inventory — no digging through courses one by one.
Yours alone
Private to your academy
Every embed is isolated to your own academy. No other academy on the platform can see, reach, or touch what you embed — your inventory is yours and yours only.
- Your embeds are invisible to every other academy
- Complete tenant isolation, enforced by the platform
- Your external sources stay your business alone
Better together
Build the full lesson around your embed
Pair embedded tools with the rest of your lecture content for a complete, in-flow experience.
Why not just a link?
An embedded lesson beats a plain URL
Anyone can paste a link. An embedded lesson turns that link into part of the course.
Just pasting a URL
- Sends students off your platform
- No free preview to win enrollments
- No sandbox and no security control
- No inventory, no governance, no export

In-flow learning, a free-preview badge, a secure sandbox, and full governance — all from one paste.
- Learners stay in your course
- Free-preview badge to convert prospects
- HTTPS-only, sandboxed rendering
- One inventory with host visibility & export
