Reading Activities

TL;DR; Reading activities — inline formatted text written directly in a rich-text editor — are not yet available. The Reading type appears in the Add Activity form marked as Coming Soon. 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 LMS, but the feature is not yet available. When you open the Add Activity form inside a section, you'll see Video and Document as the two selectable types. Reading appears in the list with a "Coming Soon" label and cannot be selected.

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.
