Creating a Card Match Activity

This section requires photographs, illustrations or screenshots.

Overview

Within our Getting Started Package, you will find a Template folder. 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.

Creating the Activity

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.
