Reading Activities
TL;DR; You can't add new Reading activities — inline formatted text written directly in a rich-text editor — yet. The Reading type appears in the Add Activity form marked as Coming Soon. Reading activities already in a course still work. For now, use a Document activity with a Markdown file as the closest alternative.
Current status
Reading activities are a planned activity type in Lupo's Learn section, but you can't add new ones yet. When you open the Add Activity form inside a section, the types you can select are Video, Document, Student Guide, Image, Quiz, and SCORM. Reading appears in the list with a "Coming Soon" label and cannot be selected. Reading activities that are already in a course still work for learners.
What reading activities will do
When the feature ships, reading activities will let you write short inline content — a page of context, a checklist, a transition between two heavier sections — directly in a rich-text editor, without uploading a file. The content will appear inside the course as a formatted text block the learner scrolls through.
They'll be best suited for:
- Short context pages — a one-screen intro before a video.
- Takeaway lists — "The five things you should remember from this section."
- Quick references — a checklist, a glossary, a short set of steps.
- Transitions — a brief paragraph that helps learners shift focus between sections.
What to use in the meantime
The closest alternative today is a Document activity with a Markdown (.md) file. Markdown files render as clean, formatted HTML inside the activity viewer — headings, bold, lists, links — so the learner experience is very similar to what a reading activity will eventually provide. The main difference is that you write and maintain the content in an external file rather than in-editor.
See Document Activities for how to create one.
Where to go next
- Document Activities — the available alternative for inline text content.
- Video Activities — the primary activity type in most Lupo courses.
- Sections — the container activities live in.
