> I've been working on a new template that Julian has previously mentioned here. The idea behind it was to allow the creation of projects where content appears synched with a piece of media and for it to be far more customisable (different types of content to appear/layout of the page) than the current synched video and audio slideshow pages.

I would have thought you would add a number of content panels to the page and then select the type of content to appear on the panel and set it's synch point. There would be the option to pause at synch points so students can explore the content in the panels before continuing.
