Flexible building blocks for participation
Build live learning with reusable Activity Cards
Activity Cards let you prepare the questions, media, interactions and resources that shape an EdAuthor session from beginning to end.
Design around the learning purpose
Choose the activity format that fits the moment instead of forcing every interaction into the same poll or slide.
Combine content and participation
Mix presentations, media, questions, quizzes, rankings, reflections, files and collaborative activities.
Save and reuse what works
Organise Activity Cards into bundles that can be refined and used again for future sessions.
