4. Activities
In each module, besides the resources, there are one or more activities. Activities are also part of the learning material but require you to take some action and may contribute to your grade. If an activity is graded, it will appear in the gradebook with a non-zero weighting factor.
Types of Activities
The main types of activities are:
Assignment: This is the most common type of activity. You are given instructions and asked to submit a deliverable, which could be text, an image, a document, or simply a hyperlink. Your submission will be reviewed and graded later by the trainer.
Quiz: Contains closed-type questions and is graded immediately and automatically without trainer intervention. In the rare case it includes an open-ended question, it will need to be graded by the trainer.
Forum: Here you need to make a post in the forum. If graded, your post will be assessed by the trainer.
Questionnaire: You are asked to complete a questionnaire. Questionnaires are usually optional and do not count toward the final grade.
Database: You are asked to make an entry in a database by filling out a form with various fields. It is graded like a forum, with the entry being directly assessed. This is rarely used.
What to Watch For
Ungraded Activities Some activities may not be graded either because they are optional or serve a different purpose. For example, there might be a forum in a module meant for discussion and sharing deliverables among trainees. To see if an activity counts toward your grade, check the course gradebook page. Typically, assignments and quizzes always contribute to the grade.
