Add a Checklist Activity

The checklist is an activity that allows instructors and course participants to check off items on a course as they are completed. It is designed to streamline and enhance the learning experience for both educators and students.

This handy tool allows instructors to create interactive checklists of tasks and requirements, guiding learners through their course journey step-by-step. With the Checklist Activity, instructors can easily organize assignments, readings, quizzes and other learning activities into a clear, manageable format.
