Activity steps

Boost engagement for high knowledge uptake before class

With the Interactive Study Materials tools, instructors create engaging comprehension activities where students interact with course materials by responding to questions and discussion prompts. This step encourages asynchronous engagement and makes sure students are well-prepared for in-class deep dives. To save time, instructors can use the Engagement Assistant feature (powered by AI) to create context-based open questions and discussion prompts.
