Quests
A quest is a sort of mission that you can create and assign to your players. When players complete a quest, they can be awarded points.
A survey doesn’t have any right or wrongs and player points aren’t based on player answers. Surveys can also be anonymous. For Quizzes players get points based on their performance and there might even be a level that must be reached to complete the quest.
Quests are made up by activities. Every quest can have one or more activities. Each activity consists of a description, an image and of one or more elements. An element can be a youtube video, a multiple-choice response form or a comment form.
By combining activities and elements you may create a survey or a quiz with embedded images and YouTube videos.
