Note: In Coursetune, all activities in the course are organized alphanumerically within activity type categories. Activities created in the Learn category are under the “Content Exploration” category in Coursetune. All Content Exploration activities for the whole course will appear in alphanumeric order in the Activities panel in Coursetune, and they are “strictly learning.” (Read more about Activity Settings in Coursetune.)
