Want to make your lessons more engaging? The Text Exercise tool lets you create interactive content by adding text, links, videos, and images! It’s a great way to supplement notation-based and audio exercises with extra learning materials.

Text Formatting Tools for Teachers

The Text Formatting Toolbar allows you to style text, embed media, and organize your content. Below is a simple guide to using these tools effectively.

Basic Formatting

• Bold (Ctrl+B) – Makes text stand out.

• Italic (Ctrl+I) – Adds emphasis to text.

• Headings – Use headings to organize content. Use no more than three heading levels.

Adding Media & Links

• Image – Upload pictures from your device.

• Video – Embed a video by pasting its URL. Make sure the link starts with https://.

• Link – Add links to websites by pasting the URL. Again, always include https://.

Text Alignment

• Align Left – Default option (recommended).

• Align Center – Centers your text.

• Align Right – Right-aligns text.

• Justified – Not recommended because it creates large, uneven spaces between words.

Lists & Indentation

• Ordered List – Creates a numbered list.

• Bullet List – Creates a bulleted list.

• Indent Left/Right – Moves text left or right for better organization.

Special Text Formatting

• Subscript (Ctrl+↓) – Makes text smaller and lower than surrounding text.

• Superscript (Ctrl+↑) – Makes text smaller and higher.

• Text Size – Adjusts text size (use sparingly).

• Text Color & Background Color – Change text or background color (only if necessary).

• Blockquote – Highlights quotes or important text.

• Code Block (</>) – Useful when adding guitar or bass tabs.

• Boxout – Highlights key information in a styled box (use “Default” or “Ghost” styles).

Clearing Formatting

If things get messy, use Clear Text Formatting to remove all styles and start fresh!
