Participant exploring VisuoLab Reception activities: video comprehension, drag and drop, and an image with hotspots. For participants Reception activities let you understand and explore text, images and video. Some formats contain questions to answer; others provide information through interactive materials. In quiz formats, marking follows the answers configured by the Supervisor. In informational formats, follow the instructions for exploring and completing the activity; opening content does not, by itself, mean answering a question.
