Berdee is built to help educators turn an idea into an interactive learning experience without having to think like a developer. The fastest way to get comfortable is to understand the three layers you will work with most often:

1. Lessons are the activities you create.
2. Scenes are the screens learners move through inside a lesson.
3. Widgets are the pieces you place on a scene, such as text, images, questions, timers, and media.

If you only remember one thing, remember this: you are designing a flow. Berdee is not just for making slides look good. It is for guiding a learner from one step to the next, responding to what they do, and giving them useful feedback along the way.

The fastest path to a finished lesson

1. Click New lesson, then Start from scratch. That lands you in the Studio on an empty canvas — the name and the tags can wait.
2. Add or rename your scenes.
3. Drop in the widgets you need.
4. Configure interactions, variables, or grading only where they add value.
5. Preview from the opening scene and refine the experience.
6. Name the lesson from ⋯ → Settings once you know what it is.

What Berdee is especially good at

• Turning a linear lesson into a guided interactive experience.
• Mixing content and checks for understanding on the same canvas.
• Reusing shared design or instructions through layouts.
• Personalizing text or behavior with variables.
• Responding to learner actions with events, conditions, and follow-up actions.
• Building activities that feel more like experiences than worksheets.
