Interactive activities made with AI
Describe an activity in your own words and the AI assistant builds it as an interactive item in your worksheet. Students use it right in the lesson, and what they submit is saved in Praktikal.
When to use it
Use it when an idea is easier to grasp by trying than by reading: comparing fractions by colouring parts of a wall, balancing a lever, building a sentence from words, exploring the parts of a cell. Each activity is made for your topic and your class, so it fits where no ready-made question type does.
In the lesson it appears as an Interactive artifact. This is not the same as a learning app, which is built in its own project with a coding agent and published in versions.
Creating the activity
Open the AI assistant: Praktikratt in Praktikal, or your own AI assistant connected to Praktikal.
Describe the activity: the class and topic, what students should do, what the activity should show, and whether students should submit an answer. For example: “I teach equivalent fractions to year 4. Create a fraction wall on a worksheet where students colour parts and discover why 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8. Show the selected fraction and let students submit their answer.”
Say which lesson and worksheet it belongs in. The assistant builds the activity and adds it there.
Open the worksheet and try the activity yourself before the lesson.
To change the activity, tell the assistant what to change. In editing mode the item also has Edit HTML, which opens its source next to a live preview, and Upload HTML file, which replaces the whole activity with a file of your own (up to 2 MB). An activity that collects answers is labelled Answerable.
What students do
Students open the worksheet in a presentation or an assignment and use the activity where it sits: they click, drag or type, and it responds straight away. If the activity collects an answer, they submit it when they are done, and it is saved in Praktikal like their other answers.
Checking the answers
In the presentation, click Results on the activity to see what each student submitted, for example the fraction they ended up with. If the activity reports whether an answer is correct, Results marks it; otherwise, read the answers and judge them yourself. Long answers are shortened in the list, and Show all opens the whole answer.
Tips
Ask for one clear task per activity. A short request naming the class, the topic and the answer you expect gives a better result than a long list of features.
Ask for an answer to be submitted if you want to see the students’ work afterwards. An activity without one is for exploring only, and nothing appears in Results.
Click every button yourself before the lesson, ideally on a phone as well. Only trying it shows whether it works the way you meant.
The same kind of request works in any subject: a lever to balance in physics, words to put in order in a language lesson, parts of a cell to explore in biology.
