An activity is a set of questions and content (instructions, a reading text, an image or a video). You build it once and can assign it to any class, live in a lesson or as homework.

1. **Start a new activity** Go to **My activities** and click **Create activity**. The editor opens with an empty activity.
2. **Give it a title** Type a title at the top of the editor, for example "Past simple warm-up".
3. **Add your first question** Choose a type, such as **Multiple choice**. Type the question, fill in the options and tick the correct answer so it is marked automatically.
4. **Add a few more** Click **Add question** (or **Add a question or content** under the last item). Try a **Drawing** question so students can show their working.
5. **Preview it** Click **Preview** to see the activity as a student would, on a **Phone** or a **Computer**.
6. **Assign it** Click **Assign**, pick a class, choose the options and click **Assign and watch live**.

## Let AI draft it for you

Short on time? Click **Create with AI** on the **My activities** page. Describe the topic, or add a worksheet, and you get a full activity you can edit before assigning. See [Create questions with AI](https://learnworkly.com/help/activities/ai-question-generator).

## Frequently asked questions

**Which questions are marked automatically?**
Questions with an answer key, such as multiple choice, true / false, short answer and fill in the blank. Free responses, drawings, audio and file uploads you mark yourself. See [Question types](https://learnworkly.com/help/activities/question-types).

**Can I change an activity after assigning it?**
Yes, you can keep editing it in **My activities**. Be careful when deleting a question students have answered: their answers to it are deleted too.
