Anatomy of a Task

Overview

In our previous lesson, we have explored the hierarchy of a category and tasks. At the same time, we must be aware of the anatomy of a task that will help us in our task creation. Let’s start by adding the task description as follows:

As annotated above, we have added the task description on the right side of the screen.

Adding hint

Now, we must add the required context for the upcoming hint for the learner before adding the actual hint.

After performing the above-annotated steps, we can add the hint text as follows:

By pressing the add (+) button beneath, we can add more text (markdown) or other available fields and utilize them accordingly.

Adding solution

If we are making a guided project, we must add the solution for the learners that are optional otherwise. We can add a solution by performing the procedure of adding hint as shown below:

Replace the hint with a solution this time as annotated above.

Live example

That is how the anatomy of a task (step) should be. Let’s see how it looks once our project is live on Educative’s platform.

The above-provided screenshot is from one of the live projects available at Educative’s platform and depicts the task anatomy once our project is live on Educative’s platform.

Now let’s jump right into the available widgets in our following lesson.
