	==Can I change the End of Lesson page display==		==Can I change the End of Lesson page display==
			Yes it is possible for the site administrator to change the text strings for all Lessons which use a specific language. For example, some sites do not want a student to see any reference to grades. By editing the correct text string, it is possible to replace "Your score is 9 (out of 10)" with "Be sure to get your certificate". Or change "Congratulations - end of lesson reached" to "We hoped this lesson helped you".
			:''Tip:'' It is possible to force a language in a course in the Appearance settings. A site administrator can create a "new" language, with different text strings. This would allow different courses to have what appears to the student as different end of lesson pages. [https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=220671 See this post for creating a new language based upon another.]

Or put a question at the start or end of every "teaching point". And of course, you can tell your students how it is going to work.		:''TIPs:'' Use a content page at the start of the lesson as a table of contents, so the student are forced to remember where they are but can jump to your teaching points.

	The Lesson module's left menu navigation feature, only displays content ~~(branch table)~~ pages. If your lesson only has question pages, it will not display any pages. Use a content page before a series of question pages, so your students will know where the series starts. Alternative, use the same content page and put links to each of the question using descriptions and jumps. Remember, you can effectively have the student jump past (not view) this content page as they go through the lesson and only reach it via the left menu.

Now the edits can be saved.
	::''Tip:'' Changing the "Maximum number" as a teacher builds a lesson is a trick used to limit scrolling passed unused answers or branch choices to get to the save button. For example, 15 pages have 4 choices but one page will have 8 choices. The teacher will use "Maximum number" at 8 setting only when they initially create that page, then switch it back to 4. They (and their students) will always see all 8 answers but the lesson setting will prevent them from editing some of them.		::''Tip:'' Changing the "Maximum number" as a teacher builds a lesson is a trick used to limit scrolling passed unused answers or branch choices to get to the save button.

	~~==What is a Branch ?==~~
	Many Moodlers call a series of pages in their lesson "'''a branch'''". Usually the student will enter the series by jumping from a page that is not directly before the "branch". Thus, a student will "branch" off the lesson path from a missed question and visit a series of pages for review before they are returned to the main lesson path again.

	~~Lesson also have special pages that create a [[Lesson clusters\|cluster]]. These are also a series of page.~~

	~~Confused yet? :) Maybe [[Branch structures]] will help.~~
