Author API Methods
createActivity()
Navigates to a new Activity editor view, ready for an author to create a new Activity.
You would want to use this method so that you can navigate to the Activity editor view in your own application, for example.
Note This method can not be used to create Adaptive or
Random Activities.
If you want to programmatically create a new Adaptive or Random Activity, you can use the navigate() method. See examples there.

authorApp.createActivity('My new Activity reference');
