The Reading Material activity is not assessable. It allows you to provide material for the students to read, and their comprehension of this material can then be assessed later. 

You can use this to direct students to a range of resources - such as video, online, text book, etc. although it would traditionally allow for you to upload PDF reading materials. 

How to Set Up a Reading Material Activity

1. Follow steps 1 - 4 as outlined on the create an activity help page 
   
   
2. Link or upload resources (optional). This may include supporting material, PDF textbooks, diagrams videos, online resources or other documents the student will require as a learning resource.
   
   Before you have saved the activity, you have the opportunity to provide external links
   
   
   
   Once the activity has been saved, you will instead have the opportunity to attach files
   
   
   
   
3. Provide instructions in the notes tab (optional).
   The notes tab allows you to populate instructions which are visible in the student portal. This might include information about the reading materials and how it is relevant.
   
   You can also use iFrame code to embed a video player here, so the student doesn't need to download a video resource or access it external to Vasto  
   
   
   
   
4. Save your changes
   

Reading Material Activity Workflow
