Action

An Action describes a specific type of an Activity.

The values of this enum are of type string.

Core Actions

Edlink support a lot of action possible action values, but these are probably the droids that you're looking for. Below this list is the full list of actions that we support, but they are probably not super relevant to you. There's nothing special about this list other than that we were trying to save you some time scrolling. If an action doesn't appear on the Core Actions list, it really doesn't mean anything, we swear!

ValueDescription
answeredIndicates the actor (e.g. a student) replied to a question, where the object is generally an activity representing the question.
assignedIndicates the actor was given or required to access an object.
attemptedIndicates the actor tried to access the object. An attempt statement without additional activities could be considered incomplete in some cases.
completedIndicates the actor finished or concluded the activity.
consumedIndicates that the actor has consumed the object. The specific meaning is dependent largely on the object's type. For instance, an actor may consume an audio object, indicating that the actor has listened to it; or an actor may consume a book, indicating that the book has been read. As such, the consume verb is a more generic form of other more specific verbs such as read and played.
createdIndicates the actor has deleted the target object.
deletedIndicates the actor has deleted the target object.
experiencedIndicates the actor only encountered the object and is applicable in situations where a specific achievement or completion is not required.
loginIndicates that the actor has signed into your platform.
logoutIndicates that the actor has signed out of your platform.
readIndicates that the actor read the object. This is typically only applicable for objects representing printed or written content, such as a book, a message or a comment. The read verb is a related, but more specific form of the consumed, experienced and played actions.
resumedIndicates the application has determined that the actor continued or reopened a suspended attempt on an activity.
scoredIndicates a numerical value related to an actor's performance on an activity.
startedIndicates that the actor has started the object. For instance, when a person starts an assignment.
submittedIndicates that the actor has submitted the object. If a target is specified, it indicates the entity to which the object was submitted.
suspendedIndicates the status of a temporarily halted activity when an actor's intent is returning to the object or activity at a later time.
watchedIndicates that the actor has watched the object. This action is typically applicable only when the object represents dynamic, visible content such as a video.
viewedIndicates that the actor has viewed the object.
voidedThis is a special action that marks a previous activity as invalid.
