Overview
The Path Finder activity type is a visual activity that uses a series of multiple choice questions to chart a path from an origin to a destination. Each question’s options can have additional information that is used to provide context to the choice and help shape their answer. As the user progresses, they can view the correct answer from the previous questions to help build connections.
Creating the Activity
We have provided a template for the configuration file, which is used by the CLIO interface to set up the activity. We also include a content drafting template created in Microsoft Word that can aid collaboration when creating activities as part of a development team.
Define the Activity
All CLIO activities, regardless of their Activity Type, contain many of the same configuration settings. These are used to configure the screen and load the correct content. By defining this information, we can begin to draft more specific activity content. This information is included in both the drafting template and the coding template provided with each activity type. These are the most common settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | The name for the activity. |
| Description | The description for the activity shown to visitors. |
| Preview | The image displayed for the activity in Exhibit Mode. |
| Introduction Video | The video displayed under the Activity Menu to provide a video introduction to the activity. |
| Audience | Each Program can have custom audiences groups, which are included as a way to help sort activities for predefined demographics. When setting up the kiosk as part of their pop-up exhibit, facilitators have the power to configure which activities they think would best fit their audience and what they’re trying to achieve.

| Theme | Each Activity can have a configured theme that allows each activity's aesthetic to vary slightly from the primary interface. Read More: Creating CLIO Activity Themes

| Attributions | Notifications for copyrighted content used within the activity. |
| Acknowledgements | Notifications of appreciation for content creators. |
