visually indicate different activity types

[jtauber]

It might be worthwhile distinguishing different activity types such as a one off survey from a repeatable quiz. There are other dimensions to consider, though, such as the Likert-scale familiarity activities versus two-choice activities or the alphabet versus nouns.

I was considering using different background colors to indicate this (think Khan academy subject areas) but not sure which dimension(s) to capture.

The core should probably just support individual activities picking their category (so the activity authors determine the dimensions of classification) and this category then controls styling via CSS class.
