Link to Assessment: Standalone Activities

Overview

The "Link to assessment" moniker indicates that the activity appears on the page as a link that the student clicks and navigates to; it doesn't appear inline on the page like a Learn By Doing, in between two sections of instructive content. 

 

Adding Assessments & Assignments

From the Smart Author editor, click + Add Section, select Assessment & Assignments, and then click Add to Page.

When you select the Assessments & Assignments section type, the activity will appear on the page as a link that the student clicks and navigates to; the activity itself doesn't appear on the page.
