Set an Activity Task for learners

Overview

Activity Tasks are designed to help learners stay on track with their learning journey. Unlike assessments, Activity Tasks do not create formal assessments. Instead, they act as reminders for learners to complete specific activities (e.g., revision, learning and development). Learners can then reflect on these activities by entering a journal entry, promoting engagement and self-assessment.
