Studio is designed to be a handy tool for creating engaging and interactive Activities. In this help article, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process to create an activity with Studio.


How to create an activity in Studio

Step 1. Navigate to Control > Content > Activities

Step 2. Spot the "new activity" option and click on it. A new window will open presenting various activity formats to choose from.

Step 3. Select the format type you want.

Studio currently does not support the Smart Exam format. Selecting this format will redirect you to the Content Builder.

Step 4. Customise your tile. Add a heading, upload or select a new image, and add a unique Content ID (note that this will not be visible to the learners).

The label defaults to "Learning bite" with its original icon. You have the option to customise it by adding a custom label and icon to make your content more distinctive and appealing.

Step 5. Once the initial setup is complete, click 'Create' to land on the Studio editing page.

On this page, you will already be able to view the activity tile and the preliminary view of your activity.

Step 6. If the selected format type allows you to add more templates or questions, you can do so by clicking on the "Add template" option or click on the plus sign that appears when you hover between existing templates.

Step7. Browse and select the desired template from the list of available options to add to your learning bite.

Step 8. To edit a template, hover over it and click the "Edit" button that appears. This will take you to the edit page of that template, where the template-specific editing options are available in the left menu.

As you make changes using the menu options, monitor them in real time to ensure the desired outcome.

Step 9. To go back to the activity overview, click on blue "Back to overview" button on the top.

Step 10. You can save your changes and publish your activity on the activity overview page.

After you have refined and polished your activity, save your changes by clicking the "Save" button found in the upper right corner of the activity view.

When you're ready to share your activity with learners, publish your activity by clicking on "Publish" button on the upper right corner.


👀 Good to know

  • You can collapse the editing menu on the left by clicking on the '-' button located on the top right corner of the menu, offering a larger overview of your template.

  • Change the device preview by toggling to other devices situated at the top of the template to view how your template appears on different devices.

  • Adjust your view by zooming in or out using the percentage settings located in the upper right corner.

  • Click on the play icon on the right menu to preview a single template or the entire activity. To revert to the editing options, click on the pen icon.


Versioning

Every time you save, a new version of that activity is created, allowing you to track the progress and changes made throughout the development phase.

To add remarks or notes on your version, the save button opens up a new screen where you can detail your updates or changes. To access the version history and keep tabs on the evolution of your activity, click on the clock icon located on the right menu.
