More about the Lesson Activity

The Lesson activity presents a series of pages to your learners, who are sometimes asked to make a selection before moving ahead. In its simplest form a Lesson can contain just content, and the learners progress through each page in order. A more advanced approach can include both content pages, as well as question pages that check for understanding. As your skills improve you can begin incorporating clusters between your content and question pages. How complex a Lesson is built on your level of experience and comfort building it, and your goals for both the content and the learners. 

The primary difference between a Lesson and other activity types is the lesson’s adaptive ability. With this tool, each choice the learners make can show different instructor feedback based on whether it was correct or incorrect, and send the learner to a different page in the Lesson. With planning, the Lesson module can customize the presentation of content and questions to each learner with no further action required by you as the instructor.

You will need to have a clear idea beforehand of how you want your Lesson to progress. Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself: 

• Will the Lesson be a graded, linear learning experience? 
• Or an ungraded, non-linear practice session? 
• Will students be able to go back and revisit areas or is it just a once-only opportunity?
• Will you be including a pool of questions to pull from randomly?
