In Coassemble, a screen is a single unit of learning. Think of it as a page in a book—but interactive, purposeful, and designed with learning science in mind. When transforming a document into a course, your original paragraphs and bullet points are transformed into screens. Each screen should ideally contain one clear concept, idea or theme, making it easier for your learners to follow, digest, and apply what they’ve learned.

In Coassemble, a screen is a single unit of learning. Think of it as a page in a book—but interactive, purposeful, and designed with learning science in mind. When transforming a document into a course, your original paragraphs and bullet points are transformed into screens. Each screen should ideally contain one clear concept, idea or theme, making it easier for your learners to follow, digest, and apply what they’ve learned.

Each screen gives you an opportunity to present information in a way that optimizes engagement and retention.

For example:

* **Text & Image**: Great for storytelling and explanation.
* **Accordion or Process**: Helps with layered information or step-by-step breakdowns.
* **Flashcards & Quizzes**: Activate retrieval practice and reinforce memory.

From a learning design perspective, chunking content into screens aligns with **Cognitive Load Theory**—reducing overwhelm by presenting bite-sized content that’s easier to absorb.

### **Why we recommend keeping your course less than 20 screens**

While it might be tempting to fit everything into a single course, more isn’t always better. Courses with too many screens can quickly lead to:

* **Learner fatigue** – Long courses can feel overwhelming and reduce motivation.
* **Lower completion rates** – Learners are less likely to finish lengthy experiences.
* **Missed opportunities for modular learning** – Breaking content into smaller courses gives learners more flexibility and improves knowledge retention.

As a best practice, aim to keep your course under **20 screens**. If your content naturally goes beyond that, consider splitting it into multiple courses and grouping them using a **collection**.
