Dynamic content helps you personalize a course for learners based on specific parameters (variables), such as department, position, city, etc. With dynamic content, you can control what content is displayed depending on the values of these variables.
Creating a Dynamic Lesson or Test
📌 Collecting and Defining Variables
To configure dynamic content, you must first collect and define the variables. There are three ways to do this:
Using the API method
setLessonVariables:
https://academyocean.com/api#setLessonVariablesCollecting variable data through a Pop-Up (learners can select the variable value themselves):

Collecting variable data using a quiz (variable values can be defined based on learners’ answers).
To set this up, click the three dots next to a test question and choose “Associate variable” (available for “One choice”, “Written answer”, and “Yes/No”). After that, the answer options will become values for the selected variable:
You can replace the answer text with the required variable value. To do this, click “Override answer with variable” and enter the variable’s value.
When a learner selects this answer option, the variable will automatically receive the new value. Don’t forget to save your changes.
📌 Configuring a Dynamic Lesson or Quiz
To make a lesson or quiz dynamic, click the three dots next to its title and select “Dynamic content”.
Enable the feature by switching the toggle.
Select the variable, condition, and variable value. You can add multiple conditions using the “Add condition” button.
After adding all necessary conditions, click “Save”. The lesson will then be visible only to learners who match the defined conditions:
Creating Dynamic Content Inside a Lesson
You can make not only entire lessons dynamic but also specific content blocks within a lesson.
Open the lesson where you'd like to create dynamic content. Click the plus icon (Quick Insert) and select “Dynamic content”.
In the window that appears, enter the block title and description (optional), and select the variable, condition, and variable value. You can add multiple conditions using “Add condition”. After finishing, click “Create”.
Now you can add the content that will appear only when the conditions are met. Make sure to save your changes.
Back in the lesson editor, you will see that this part of the lesson will be displayed only to learners who meet the specified variable criteria.
