Studio card

Written by Emma Abrahamsson

With the Studio card, you can prompt for the type of card you want; your creativity is the only real limit. You build the card together with the edit agent: describe what you want, add images or PDFs as inspiration, and edit the text directly in the card until it is exactly what you need.

Unlock limitless creativity with the Studio card

The Studio card empowers you to unleash your creativity; simply describe your vision in a prompt and let Sana do the rest. Instantly generate, refine, and perfect any type of card, making it effortless to turn your ideas into engaging learning experiences. This seamless, flexible process makes it easy to experiment and adapt each card to perfectly align with your instructional goals.

Use-cases for the Studio card

The Studio card is perfect for course creators who want to bring their unique ideas to life effortlessly. Some example use-cases are:

  • Company timeline: new joiners can visually explore the organization’s journey through a dynamic, interactive timeline showcasing the company's key milestones.

  • Drag-and-drop activities: build hands-on, visual exercises, like matching or sorting, to help learners engage with and master important concepts or information.

  • Step-by-step tutorials: guide learners through complex processes or workflows with interactive, visual instructions and checkpoints.

💡 The Studio card works particularly well with visualizations and interactive games. Use it to capture the learners' attention and foster engagement!

How to use Studio card

  1. Find the Studio card: Studio card is currently available only in self-paced courses. Access it via the card picker within the course editor.

  2. Create and edit: start by entering a prompt for the type of card you want. You can attach images and PDFs as inspiration for the card, and you can edit text directly in the card using ⌥ (the Option key) or Alt on a non-Apple device. The edit agent works on the card with you, so you can make quick changes without prompting.

  3. Iterate easily: ask Edit mode for changes in plain language and review what it proposes. You can keep working on other parts of the course while the agent works on the card, and you can go back to any earlier version and restore it.

  4. Search and translate automatically: Studio cards published or republished after the release are searchable and translatable. Existing Studio cards need to be republished once to be indexed. A small edit and republish is enough; you don’t need to regenerate the card.

Important notes

  • Direct text editing: you can edit text directly in the card using ⌥ (the Option key) or Alt on a non-Apple device, so you can make small wording changes without prompting.

  • Inspiration files: you can attach images and PDFs for the agent to use as inspiration when it builds or updates the card.

  • Aware of your course: the agent can see your course outline and read other parts of the course as it works, so your card stays aligned with the rest of your content.

  • Version history: you can go back to any earlier version of the card and restore it.

  • Searchable content: Studio card content is indexed alongside standard cards, making it discoverable through course search and available to the AI Tutor. Existing Studio cards need to be republished once before they are indexed.
    ​
    ​*Note: Studio cards are searchable, but the AI Tutor cannot read the actual content of the card.

  • Translation support: Studio cards are included when translating courses, so Studio exercises are translated together with the rest of the course content. Studio card translation also works in Workday Learning environments.

  • No data persistence: Studio card does not currently store or transmit any learner data. Interactions are only visible to the current learner, and all data is fully cleared after leaving the card. Read more here.

  • Suggestions powered by content: suggestions you receive are based on your course’s content, helping you stay relevant and on-topic.

  • No analytics: analytics for Studio cards are not yet available.

  • Completion states: content in the card is not yet tied to any completion state, meaning the card will get marked as completed after viewing it.

Choosing the right card for the job

The Studio card is a powerful tool for creative content, but some learning experiences are better supported by other cards available in Sana. To ensure you get the most out of your content, consider these recommendations:

  • Quizzes and assessments: use dedicated question or assessment cards. The Studio card can’t save or track results in Insights. Read more about question or assessment cards here.

  • Scenarios: for immersive scenario-based learning, the Scenario card is your best option. Read more about the Scenario card here.

  • Collaboration and tracking over time: for peer learning, live collaboration, or progress tracking, use Live sessions, Reflections, or Assessments for full functionality.

  • Complex coding practice: for technical assessments or production tests, specialized tools are more effective.

Selecting the right card in Sana helps you deliver the best learning experience and ensures you have access to all the features you need.
