===== Further information =====

This page can be tracked.

If you want the learner to complete the task and **download** their response and the feedback, consider using the **Documentation **page instead. This allows for a greater variety of task types, and generates a Word document as output, without the learner having to copy and paste into a document.

You may want to make a clearer distinction between the text provided in the task (i.e. the **Prompt **and **Feedback**) and the learner's response, by using italics or a different font for the **Prompt **and **Feedback**.
