Describe your activity
Give AskMe the context it needs to design a great activity. All fields are required.
Fill in the fields yourself, or let AskMe guide you through a quick conversation.
Manual Entry
The video learners will watch before responding. YouTube and Vimeo watch URLs are converted to embed format automatically. For other providers, paste the embed URL directly.
The image learners will analyse. Paste a URL or upload a file.

What are Learning Outcomes?
Specific, measurable things a learner should be able to do or demonstrate after completing this activity. AskMe uses these to shape the scenario, questions, and coaching focus.
Phrase as capabilities, not topics — "Apply X to Y" beats "Understand X"
1–3 outcomes is ideal; more dilutes the focus
Be concrete — vague outcomes produce generic activities
i
What are Key Concepts?
The frameworks, models, terms, and vocabulary AskMe should recognize and reinforce in its coaching — even when learners don't use the exact words.
Include the specific names you use in your course (e.g. "influence-interest matrix", not just "stakeholder mapping")
Add any common misconceptions AskMe should watch for and correct
The more precise, the more on-target the coaching will be
i
What is Lesson Context?
The raw source material this activity is based on — transcript, slide notes, article, or key content from your lesson. AskMe reads this to write scenarios and coaching language grounded in your course.
More detail = more accurate, on-brand output
A full transcript works great; even bullet-point notes help
Don't clean it up — paste it as-is, AskMe handles the rest

Refine Activity

How does Refine Activity work?
Rather than editing the HTML directly, you describe the change you want and AskMe rewrites the activity for you — preserving structure, style, and learning intent while making the adjustment.
Be specific: "Replace the scenario with a healthcare team missing a deadline" works better than "make it more realistic"
One change at a time: Focused requests produce cleaner results than multi-part instructions
Chain refinements: Apply several in sequence — each one builds on the last
Use Quick refinements for the most common adjustments — they include pre-built prompts optimised for each change type
Quick refinements:
Coaching Prompts
These two prompts are AskMe's private briefing — learners never see them. Together they define what AskMe knows about the activity and how it responds to each learner.
⚠ Auto-generated. These prompts are written by AskMe and tuned for this activity. Edit only if you know what you're changing — modifications may affect coaching quality.
Learner Context (Pre-Prompt)
i
What is the Pre-Prompt?
Sent to AskMe before it reads the learner's response. It describes the activity — what the learner just watched or read, what the question is asking for, and what a strong response looks like. The better this context, the more accurately AskMe can evaluate whether the learner actually understood the material.
Write in third person — "The learner just watched a video on…" not "You just watched…"
Summarise the key ideas from the lesson the response should reflect
Describe what a strong response looks like so AskMe knows what to reward
Coaching Instructions (Close-Prompt)
i
What is the Close-Prompt?
Sent after the learner's response. It tells AskMe how to coach — tone, structure, what to validate, what to push back on, and how to close.
Tone: "Be warm but direct" or "Challenge shallow answers"
Structure: "Use numbered sections: evaluation, key insight, next step"
Length: "Keep coaching to 3–4 focused paragraphs"
Closing move: "Always end with one concrete action the learner can take"
