# How to create a Web-based item

### Introduction

Web-based item is a type of item in which your students have to code inside the application, test their code in a browser, and submit if for automatic checking.

CodeChum already has built-in Web-based item that you are free to use, but if you'd like to make your own item to use in an activity in CodeChum, you can make your own!

### Steps

Since creating web-based items is very complicated, we will make it for you instead. What you need to do are the following:

1. Click on **Item Bank**. This will redirect you to a screen listing all items you have created within CodeChum.

2. Look for the **Create Item** button and click it. This will open a big popup window to create your very own item.

6. Wait for a message in your email where we will send word about your Web-based item. <br>

And that's how we help you make Web-based items in CodeChum!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.codechum.com/teachers/more-features-you-may-want-to-explore/items-section/how-to-create-an-item/how-to-create-a-web-based-item.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
