Pulse activity feature
For full control over the visual design, Pulse supports custom CSS. Teachers and instructional designers can apply their own styles to fine-tune spacing, colors, typography, and layout, ensuring that Pulse activities align with institutional branding or specific course requirements. This level of flexibility makes it easy to create polished, visually consistent activities that blend seamlessly into your course design.
