Create an activity
To create an activity you need to choose the type of activity, a name, and a
summary of the activity's purpose. (Then you need to invite some people to
join in, which is handled on the next screen.)
The following types of activity are available:
- Forum: Facilitates discussion among a group of people.
Anyone can write 'posts' which others can reply to.
Useful if: you want
to discuss a particular topic or just keep in touch.
- Wiki: Allows a group of people to create a small website
made of one or more pages. Anyone can change the text of a page, and the system
keeps track of all the changed versions and who made each change.
Useful if: you want to put together a report or an information resource.
Name and summary can be anything you like. These will both be included in the
email that the system sends to the people you're inviting.
