The process of creating activities

The steps to follow to create a Clic activity are:
  • Decide of the type of activity and the content it will need, according to the didactic objectives of the application that you want to make.

  • Prepare the ingredients of the activity: graphics, texts, sounds, etc.

  • Start up Clic, activate the File - New... menu and select the type of activity that you want to make.

  • Select the working directory, where the activity will be created (this should be the folder where the "ingredients" are located).

  • Adjust the parameters for each activity: number of cells, type of content, font types, welcome message, good bye message etc.

  • Confirm and check the workings of the activity.

  • Make any changes needed through the Edit - Edit activity (or with the combination of the CTRL+E keys) and Options - Activity options (CTRL+O) menus.

  • Save the activity.

When we have quite a few activities it is best to group them together in a pack. To create a pack you only have to activate the File - New... - Activity pack menu and construct the sequence from the list of available activities.
