[[Image:Lesson icon.gif]] The lesson module presents a series of HTML pages to the student who is usually asked to make some sort of choice underneath the content area. The choice will send them to a specific page in the Lesson. 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 in the Lesson.

#Make sure the 'Jumps' take you to the next page (if you want.) 'Jumps' direct the student to where they should go next. Once you have made all your pages, return and edit each Jump so it shows the correct page name

There are 2 basic Lesson page types that the student will see: question pages and content pages.  There are also several advanced navigational pages which can meet more specialized needs of the Teacher. The Lesson module was designed to be adaptive and to use a student's choices to create a self directed lesson. 


The main difference between a Lesson and other activity modules available in Moodle comes from its adaptive ability. With this tool, each choice the students makes can show a different teacher response/comment and send the student to a different page in the lesson. Thus with planning, the Lesson module can customize the presentation of content and questions to each student with no further action required by the teacher.

What is the Lesson activity?

The Lesson activity allows teachers to create 'branching' exercises where students are presented with content and then, depending on their responses, are directed to specific pages. The content may be text or multimedia.

Overview of the Lesson activity

How is it set up?

  1. In a course, with the editing turned on, choose 'Lesson' from the activity chooser.
  2. Give it a name and, if required, a description.
  3. Expand the other sections to select the settings you want, including whether the Lesson is for practice or will be graded.
  4. Click Save and Display and from the Edit tab, add your first page. This will usually be a Content page (where you add information) or a Question page (where you can select a question type.)
  5. Make sure the 'Jumps' take you to the next page (if you want.) 'Jumps' direct the student to where they should go next. Once you have made all your pages, return and edit each Jump so it shows the correct page name
  6. When you have saved your first page, continue adding pages from the Collapsed tab > Actions menu.
