# Activity Types

Activities are things that you want the students to **do** in your online classroom. Unlike **Resources**, which are how instructors giving information to students, **Activities** are typically students giving information/feedback/etc. to the instructor.

The activities below are available to all instructors. Some activity blocks, like EdPuzzle or Perusall, are dependent on the resources used in your course.
