An Activity is something participants do in a journey, like reading a chapter, answering a survey or joining a discussion. The guide creates activities, and publishes them over time as the story unfolds.
Activity types
| Type | What participants do |
|---|---|
| Reading | Read one or more of the project's blocks, highlight and comment, and mark it complete. |
| Survey | Answer a few questions: true or false, multiple choice, a 1 to 5 rating, or a short answer. |
| Discussion | Respond to a prompt, and reply to each other. |
| Instructions | Read a note from the guide, and mark it done. |
| The End | The last activity, added when the guide ends the journey. Participants finish the journey. |
Every activity has a Activity Title. Surveys and discussions can also have Instructions, which explain what the guide is asking.
Pending and published
An activity starts pending: only the guide sees it, and can change, reorder or delete it. When the guide publishes, every pending activity becomes visible to participants at once, and they get a notification.
A published activity can't be changed, because participants may already have responded to it.
Responses
What a participant does in an activity is their response:
- Readings: whether they've completed it, and their highlights and comments. The guide sees these in the text.
- Surveys: their answers, which the guide sees per question or per person.
- Discussions: their response and replies, which everyone in the journey sees.
Completing activities counts toward a participant's reading points. See Rewards & Sparks.
