An Introduction to Your Site

Resources and Activities

Like any website, you can view the various resources and activities your instructor has posted within the course by clicking on the link to them. Clicking links to files may open those files automatically, or prompt you to save them to your computer. 

You may hear the terms Resources and Activities. Resources are passive content, meaning learners do not have to interact with it beyond reading, watching, or listening (if possible). Resources include content like Pages, Books, and Files. Activities are interactive content designed for learners to engage with the instructor, and possibly their peers. The primary difference between Resources and Activities is Activities require learners to share something with someone else in the course. For example, submitting a Quiz attempt, uploading your work into an Assignment, or posting to a Forum.
