Editing Activity Nodes

As the building blocks of an Activity, nodes represent a task to be completed by the students or instructor. It is the nodes where you add information on the tasks required to accomplish an Activity. 

To add or edit node content, click on a node, to access the “Edit node” tab of the workflow navigation. From there, you will be able to add the following: 

• Title: for your node title, it is recommended to focus on what the person/people in question are doing rather than the content. It helps to include a verb, such as: “Write quiz” vs “Quiz on solar system” or  “Discuss and revise models” vs “Carbohydrate model revision”. 
• Description: for the description, provide details on the task or tasks.
• Context (icon): select a context type for your node task (Individual work, Work in groups or Whole class). A corresponding icon will appear in the upper left corner of the node. This icon is useful so you can quickly see the context in which students are working. 
• Task (icon): you can choose a task type for your node (Gathering information, Discuss, Problem solve, etc.). A corresponding icon will appear in the upper right corner of the node. Like the context icon, the task icon provides quick information on the types of tasks students will be engaged in. 
• Time: set the time needed to complete the task.
• Delete: deletes the node (note that the node can be restored).
