Chris's draft of rewriting the intro to Lesson Module.--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 19:36, 26 October 2008 (CDT)
* Old template<nowiki> {{Lessons}}</nowiki>
* New template<nowiki> {{Lesson}}</nowiki>
* Brief, general intro page (appx 100-300 words; 7 - 20 sentences), visuals most welcome.
* Point the user to items that can be found on the template menu (box on the right) and what they contain.
* [[Lesson_module]] - GU, No 10, very detailed, good outline, some 1.6 VI & references to old versions, mostly good links but lose a couple, something to visually represent/explain this module would be great. Maybe a mini-glossary? (Content, Cluster, Question...)


===Draft 1===
==Lesson template improvements and page refocus==
The lesson module presents a series of HTML pages to the student who is usually asked to make some sort of choice underneath the [[Page content|content]] area.    In a Lesson page's simplest form, the student can select a continue button. In a more complex, adaptive form, each answer to a question may send the student to a different series of pages in the lesson.  There are 7 different choice types that the teacher can use with the standard content area. Some of the choice types can be scored, such as a multiple choice question.


Most lesson pages only require student action, the teacher's response and the next page the student will see has already been thought out by the teacher and will not require further action by the teacher. This is a significant difference between a Lesson and other activity tools available in Moodle.   
*Think we need something like [[Lesson questions]] in template to expand upon each of these types of pages. I WILL NOT add it yet.
*[[Building Lesson]] is cluttered with question type info.  Should explain how to put pages in, jumps and stuff like that.
*[[Using Lesson]] should have examples of ways to use Lesson in a course.

The lesson module presents a series of HTML pages to the student who is usually asked to make some sort of choice underneath the [[Page content|content]] area.    In a Lesson page's simplest form, the student can select a continue button at the bottom of the page, which will send them to the next page.


The a significant difference between a Lesson and other activity tools available in Moodle comes from its adaptive ability.  In this form, each answer to a question may send the student to a different series of pages in the lesson.  The teacher's response and the next page the student will see has already been thought out by the teacher.  Thus Lesson can deliver content in interesting and flexible ways to each student, with no direct or time sensitive action required by the teacher once the lesson has been created.

There are 7 different choice types that the teacher can use with the standard content area. Some of the choice types can be scored, such as a multiple choice question. There are also several advanced [[Lesson_Pages#Navigation_Pages|navigational features]] which can meet more specialized adaptive needs of the Teacher.  However, the two basic Lesson type of pages are [[Lesson_Pages#Questions_-_Choice_Pages|question pages]] and [[Lesson_Pages#Branch_.28Branch_Table.29-_Choice_Pages|branch table pages]], both types are straight forward to most teachers.

:maybe [[Using Lesson]]? --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:13, 14 October 2011 (WST)
A '''lesson''' [[Teacher_documentation#Activity_modules|activity]] can deliver content in interesting and flexible ways. It consists of a number of pages. Each page has content and leads to another page based on the student's choice. [[Page content]] is created though the use of the standard Moodle [[HTML editor]]. The teacher can select any one of 7 page types for a student to view. Some page types can score a student's choice, such as a multiple choice question.  The teacher creates the choices and determines the next page the student will see based upon their choice. A lesson can be part of the [[Grades|gradebook]].


==April 2007==
* [[Lesson Pages]]
I must be the only one who loves to comment on this page.  I am the process of designing a new lesson demo, suitable for Moodle 1.9, I am trying to link back to MoodleDocs to cut down on the words in the lesson.  Lesson Module page had a bunch of 1.4 MoodleThoughts that does not consider newer features and at times was a bit preachy/predictive :)   So I am using the proven strength of the organization of this page, and re casting some of the bits with fewer words and repeats.
:not sure --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:13, 14 October 2011 (WST)


I am intentionally not changing any categories, but did add a few sub categories.  Making major changes in the format is not a good idea on a major page such as this.  Better to build links to other pages in my opinion.
* [[Adding a content page]] (Branch table) -
:not sure --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:13, 14 October 2011 (WST)


I expect others will collaborate and greatly improve on some of my recent edits.  MoodleSpeak can be really confusing.  For example, I am trying out "Classic Branch" and "Ordered Branch" as concepts that demonstrate what happens when and "end of branch" is placed in a lesson. I think I have lost the battle on renaming Branch Table, so I living with a rose by any other name, still has thorns.   
* [[Adding a question page]]
:not sure--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:13, 14 October 2011 (WST)


There are still some gaps in reguard to Lesson in MoodleDocs. Scoring questions in Lesson and how they relate to the grading scale is one.

:needed as reference but technical use of [[Jumps]]


:Humm, I started using the phrase "simple branch" in the demo.  Wonder if "ordered branch" is better? See MDLSITE-304 for my current copy of Lesson Demo.--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 06:37, 22 December 2007 (CST)

==July 2006==
* [[Import questions]]
Alternative instructions for teachers in english at http://moodle.tokem.fi are good.  They are upgrading their site today so I can not post the exact links, will come back and add specific pages from their teacher's manual on Lesson.  Lots of graphics, perhaps too busy for some learners/teachers, but great for others.  Not to mention a great example of an application using  Book. --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 19:49, 26 July 2006 (WST)

==May 2006==
* [[Import PowerPoint]]
Rewrote General Information section. I generalized things a bit more.  We give lots of examples of questions and jumps later in this MoodleDoc.  I felt this section did not prepare the reader for the robust features of the lesson module that follow. I guess we could ask if given the expansion of other sections, do we still need this section? --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 09:08, 21 May 2006 (WST)

* [[Lesson module FAQ|Lesson FAQ]] - Keep in new template
I think many of the heading in this wonderful page should have their own page.  This is another long page but I like it because it is printable for teachers.  For a newbie doing a search in MoodleDocs for one of the headings, I may go and create the page with a redirect to this page.--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 20:29, 5 May 2006 (WST)
 
:  Branch table comment: Don't know the above means. I sure wish we called "branch tables", branch pages.  I expanded the intro to branch tables to point out that they are similar to question pages that we just got done describing in great detail. I put in an example of a series of branch tables which is followed by a question page.  This might be more typical for older students.--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 21:43, 25 April 2006 (WST)
 
== Admiration ==
 
I see substantial changes and clarifications on this page since my last visit 1/2 a year or so ago. The language is clearer. The links are helpful.
 
Thanks, Chris!
: You are welcome Ben. It is not just me.  I have been inspired by countless other new users, who look for the simple answers and always ask "What does that mean?". Linking to MoodleDocs from forums replies in that same timeframe has also been very instructional for me :)  Feel free to jump right in again.

Latest revision as of 13:13, 14 October 2011

Suggestions for improvement of Lesson_module page

  • Old template {{Lessons}}
  • New template {{Lesson}}
  • Brief, general intro page (appx 100-300 words; 7 - 20 sentences), visuals most welcome.
  • Point the user to items that can be found on the template menu (box on the right) and what they contain.
  • Lesson_module - GU, No 10, very detailed, good outline, some 1.6 VI & references to old versions, mostly good links but lose a couple, something to visually represent/explain this module would be great. Maybe a mini-glossary? (Content, Cluster, Question...)

Lesson template improvements and page refocus

  • Think we need something like Lesson questions in template to expand upon each of these types of pages. I WILL NOT add it yet.
  • Building Lesson is cluttered with question type info. Should explain how to put pages in, jumps and stuff like that.
  • Using Lesson should have examples of ways to use Lesson in a course.
