Manually Create a Matching Activity Type

Updated

Activities can be created by users who are assigned any of the following roles: 

  • Company Owner
  • Author
  • PM Author

A user who is assigned one of these roles will see the "Create" tab at the top of their dashboard:

Note: The following steps focus on building the activity text and answers only. As per best practice, you should also add an activity Title, Topic, and Explanation.

  1. To get started, click the "New Activity" button, then select "Create Manually":

Learner Experience

On desktop, currently learners can click or drag to select their answer(s) before submitting.

And currently, on the Qstream App, learners using the mobile UX should note that they may only click (tap) to select answers.
