An activity is typically something that a student will do, such as submit an assignment or participate in a forum. A resource is an item that an instructor can share with students, such as a file or a link. There are many types of activities and resources available for use in GauchoSpace.

- Click Turn editing on (shown on the top right corner of the webpage).
- Scroll to to the desired week. Then, click +Add an activity or resource.
