Talk:Lesson module

April 2007

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.--Chris collman 06:37, 22 December 2007 (CST)

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. --Chris collman 19:49, 26 July 2006 (WST)

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? --Chris collman 09:08, 21 May 2006 (WST)

Aprendizagem no Moodle 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.--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.--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!
