 are interactive course elements that can be added to any course section via a drop-down menu when the course page is switched to edit mode.
-The Activities block lists all the activities available in the course (e.g. forums, tests, etc.) as well as the work materials (which are not actually interactive elements).

When you start creating a course, you will usually only see the Forum activity - as there is an Announcements forum in the course by default. The more content you make available in the course, the larger the list will be.
