What is Embedding?

Embedding allows you to include external content within lessons so that you can display web pages like videos, surveys, and of course digital workbooks within the context of your course. In Thinkific, this is done using the Multimedia lesson type.

What does the Thinkific app do?

The Thinkific app enables your students to use their Thinkific credentials to seamlessly single sign-on into Wobo. As a course creator, it also automatically installs the site footer code snippet required to use Wobo within the course player, so fewer manual steps are required to get started.

This means:

• Students don't need to create a separate Wobo account since their Wobo account will be created using their Thinkific credentials.
• As a course creator, you don't need to invite students to your workbook by email, since they will enroll themselves by signing in through Thinkific.
• Students can work through exercises without leaving the Thinkific course player, minimizing distractions and improving engagement.

How to Embed in Thinkific

Step 1: Install the Wobo Thinkific App

1. Enter the workbook builder by choosing Edit Workbook from the dashboard in Wobo.
2. Find the module you want to include, and click the [⋮] menu on the right of the module name and a pop-up will appear.

💡

You might be prompted to publish your workbook and choose workbook dates first so that it's ready to share once embedded. Do that before continuing.

3. In the pop-up, choose Thinkific, and if you don't have the app installed yet, you'll be prompted to do that before continuing. Follow the steps on screen to complete the installation. If you already have the app installed, continue to Step 2.
