Creating Activities

Two Ways to Create

1. AI Assistant (Fastest)

The AI Assistant is perfect when you have an idea but want help with the details.

How to use it:

Go to Prompt Studio from the Activities page
Describe your activity in the text box
Use # to add tags like #science or #middle-school
Add additional images as reference to the prompt
Click Generate and review the result

Example prompts that work well:

“Create a 15-minute math warm-up for 3rd graders practicing multiplication”
“Make a history quiz about ancient civilizations with matching questions”
“Design a science lab activity about plant growth with fill-in-the-blank sections”

The more specific your description, the better the AI can match what you need.

2. Manual Creation (Most Control)

Build everything manually for complete customization.

Step-by-step manual creation:

Basic Info - Title, description, subject, grade level
Main Content - Use the rich text editor for explanations, examples, and instructions
Add Questions - Click ”+ Question” and choose from:
- Multiple Choice
- Checkbox (multiple answers)
- True/False
- Fill in the Blank
- Matching Pairs
- Order the Sequence
Teacher Resources - Add answer keys, teaching notes, and extensions
Student Materials - Include worksheets and resources

You can provide some fields manually, then use the AI assistance to guide the AI it generation.
