Jumps are a unique feature of the Lesson module.  Jumps are links and determine what happens after a student makes a choice on a lesson page.  There are two basic types of jumps - Relative and Absolute. The teacher uses a pull down menu to see a selection of all possible jumps. 


Jumps determine what happens after a student makes a choice in a lessonThey are a common feature of many types of lesson pages.
For example, a teacher creates 10 Lesson pages and titles them P1 to P10.   


P1, P2, P3, P4, '''P5''', P6, P7, P8, P9, P10.


=== Jumps Types ===
On P5, the teacher may want to send the student to P7 for one student choice and to "Next Page" for other choices. In this example "P7" is an absolute jump and "Next Page is a relative jump.
Jumps can be divided into two types - Relative Jumps and Absolute Jumps. The default navigation using the relative jumps is Next Page and Same Page. The destination of the Next Page jump is the next page in the logical order of the lesson. Absolute jumps specify the actual page to show next by specifying of the page's Title.


=== Setting Jumps ===
== Absolute jumps ==
There is a pull down menu which lists the relative jumps like "next page", "this page" "previous page" and some special navigation pages we will discuss later. There will probably be many absolute page jumps listed in a nearly completed lesson. The teacher selects the page listed in the pull down menu that the student will jump to after their choice, and after seeing the responce.
The absolute jump always goes to the same page that a teacher has created. In our example we used P7.  


Each Answer (for questions) or Description (for Branch pages) has a Jump-to link. After an answer is chosen, the answer's response is shown to the student. The student then reads the response and selects continue. This action sends the student to the page listed in the Jump link for their answer.  
P1, P2, P3, P4, '''P5''', P6, '''P7''', P8, P9, P10.


Note that a (relative) Next page Jump-to link may show a different page after pages have been moved. Whereas Jump-to links which use (absolute) page titles always show the same page after pages have been moved.
Note that the teacher can decide to change the title of "P7" to "Grading" as the page title.  The jump from P5 will automatically change.


===Special Jumps===
P1, P2, P3, P4, '''P5''', P6, '''Grading''', P8, P9, P10.
Special jumps are used with navigational pages in a lesson. End of Branch, Start and End Clusters are examples. These should be used carefully


====Unseen Question within a Branch====
Moving either page will not effect any absolute jumps.  In the example below the absolute jump in P5 will now skip 4 pages in the logical order.


This will link to a randomly chosen unseen (by the student in this attempt) question between this branch table and the End of the Lesson or the next End of Branch.
P1, P2, '''P5''', P3, P4, P6, P8, '''Grading''', P9, P10.


====Random Question within a Branch====
Pages can have the same title and this can be confusing when setting jumps.  For example, it is a good practice to retitle an End of Branch page so you don't end up with 5 pages all called End of Branch.


This will link to a randomly chosen question between the current branch table and the End of Lesson or the next End of Branch. If the student has already seen the question and attempts are greater than 1, they will get another chance to earn the point(s) for that question. If attempts are set to 1, the question will be skipped and another random question shown.
== Relative jumps ==
These kinds of jumps go to a position or create an effect. In our example, a Next Page jump in P5 is the next page in the logical order of the lesson is P6.


====Random Branch Table====
P1, P2, P3, P4, '''P5''', '''P6''', P7, P8, P9, P10.


This will jump to a random Branch Table between the current Branch Table and the End of Lesson or the next End of Branch.
The teacher may decide that more information is needed for those students going to P6. The teacher can insert a page (called P5-b)immediately after P5 and the Next Page jump will now go to P5-b.

Jumps are a unique feature of the Lesson module. Jumps are links and determine what happens after a student makes a choice on a lesson page. There are two basic types of jumps - Relative and Absolute. The teacher uses a pull down menu to see a selection of all possible jumps.

For example, a teacher creates 10 Lesson pages and titles them P1 to P10.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10.

On P5, the teacher may want to send the student to P7 for one student choice and to "Next Page" for other choices. In this example "P7" is an absolute jump and "Next Page is a relative jump.

Absolute jumps

The absolute jump always goes to the same page that a teacher has created. In our example we used P7.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10.

Note that the teacher can decide to change the title of "P7" to "Grading" as the page title. The jump from P5 will automatically change.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, Grading, P8, P9, P10.

Moving either page will not effect any absolute jumps. In the example below the absolute jump in P5 will now skip 4 pages in the logical order.

P1, P2, P5, P3, P4, P6, P8, Grading, P9, P10.

Pages can have the same title and this can be confusing when setting jumps. For example, it is a good practice to retitle an End of Branch page so you don't end up with 5 pages all called End of Branch.

Relative jumps

These kinds of jumps go to a position or create an effect. In our example, a Next Page jump in P5 is the next page in the logical order of the lesson is P6.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10.

The teacher may decide that more information is needed for those students going to P6. The teacher can insert a page (called P5-b)immediately after P5 and the Next Page jump will now go to P5-b.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P5-b, P6, P7, P8, P9, P10.

Or the teacher can move another page to the position right after P5, and the Next page jump will go there. In the example below P10 has been moved and it has become the "Next page".

P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P10, P5-b, P6, P7, P8, P9.

If the teacher moves P5 to another location in the logical order, the relative jump will still look for the "Next page" in our example this will now be P10.

P1, P2, P3, P4, P6, P7, P8, P9, P5, P10.

Here are a few of the relative jumps that a teacher might find in a Lesson page.

The random relative jumps need to be planned with care. The were designed to be used within a segment of a lesson.

Next page

We have covered this relative jump in our above example. It is also the default jump for the first answer of any question or content (branch table) page choices.

This page

This page takes the student back to the page they just viewed. Lesson will usually use this jump as a default in most question and content pages, if it didn't use "Next page".

Previous page

The page which is in front of the current page in the logical order.

End of lesson

The end of lesson is the splash screen a student sees when they have completed the lesson. In the simple lesson, this follows the last page in the logical order. It may show their score, offer a link to the next lesson or just say that they have completed the lesson. This jump is often used as a content page choice to allow the student to end the lesson at that point in the Lesson.

Unseen question within a branch

This will link to a randomly chosen unseen (by the student in this attempt) question between this content page and the End of the Lesson or the next End of Branch. This might be used in a segment of a lesson, where it is used in as a jump in C2 in the example below. Use with care.

C1, C2, Q1, Q2, Q3, EoB, C3, C4, C5, Q4, C6.

Random question within a branch

This will link to a randomly chosen question between the current content page and the End of Lesson or the next End of Branch. If the student has already seen the question and attempts are greater than 1, they will get another chance to earn the point(s) for that question. If attempts are set to 1, the question will be skipped and another random question shown. Use with care.

C1, C2, Q1, Q2, Q3, EoB, C3, C4,C5, Q4,C6.

Random branch table

This will jump to a random Content page between the current Content page and the End of Lesson or the next End of Branch. It is used in a segment and is a jump in C2 shown below. Use with care.

C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 EoB, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, C6.
