A Learning Activity is the smallest unit of learning and could be a classroom activity, homework assignment, etc. Learning activities can be sequenced into Learning Modules, and can support steps on Pathways to FOSS contributions.

Using This Format

The format below contains sections which describe the items that should be included when creating a Category:Learning Activity. To use this format:

  1. Create a new page with a short, descriptive name that ends with "(Activity)". For example: Edit a Wiki Page (Activity)
  2. Copy the source for this format into your new page.
  3. Follow instructions to fill in the sections below.
  4. Categorize the page using tags at the bottom of the page.
    • Include [[Category:Learning Activity]]
    • Add at least one subcategory from the list in Learning Activities, e.g. [[Category:Coding and Style]]
    • Remove [[Category:Format]], since this page is a format, but your new page is not.
  5. Use the Discussion tab (upper left of the page) to leave feedback to the author(s) of the activity, such as usage or suggestions for enhancements.
