# Loops

In Beast Core 4 Courseware Editor, use a Loop card in conjunction with Decision and Include Fragment cards to create choices for learners and improve instructional flow and engagement.

# Loop Course Card

Allows topical segments within a lesson to run on repeat

| Typical Course Card Order |
| --- |
|  | Environment: 3D Viewer |
|  | Load in 3D Systems |
|  | Go To (Position) |
|  | Information |
|  | Loop |
|  | **Decision** - (REQUIRED) - Nests below the Loop card |
|  | **Include Fragment #1** - (REQUIRED) - Nests below the Loop card |
|  | **Include Fragment #2** - (REQUIRED) - Nests below the Loop card) |
|  | Additional *nested* **Include Fragment** cards (if needed) |
|  | Environment Card - (REQUIRED) - Returns the learner to the Main Lesson Track upon successful Loop completion |

## Loop Card Usage

- Uses **Flags** (created in the **Overview** tab » Flags section)
  - Assign the value **1** to mean a **Flag’s** condition is **not complete**
  - Assign the value **2** to mean a **Flag’s** condition is **complete**
- Works in conjunction with **Decision** and **Include Fragment** cards
  - Nest these cards below the **Loops** card for proper functioning
  - See the [How to Create Loops, Flags, Decisions, and Fragments](/beast-core/docs/how-to-create-loops-flags-decisions-and-fragments) article for more information
- Loops the nested **Decision** and **Include Fragment** course cards on repeat until the learner meets the end condition for each associated **Flag**

> [!NOTE]
> Follow-up Card Requirement
> 
> **Always** add an un-nested **Environment** card immediately after the last **Include Fragment** card in a Loop.

Gives you an omnipotent bird's eye view of the workspace.

Allows a segment of the lesson to run on repeat until flagged objectives are met.
