- 8. Tip Often people is confused because lessons can follow different paths. No matter the paths you'll eventuall choose your stuff should be organised in a sequential order, since this is the only order you can add your stuff in system. Don't get confused by lesson's icon.

Content B Q2 Content C Content D Decide where to add questions1.3 Content A Q1 Q3 Q4 Self - studying Interactivity • Add some interaction in a dull reading stuff • Helps students test their knowledge as they go Decision making scenario • Provide a scenario where participants's decisions can lead to different solutions
- 12. Decide where to add questions1.4 Formal assessment • Provide content in a sequence and provide questions in the end in a sequencial or random order Content B Content C Content D Content A Q2 Q3Q4 Q1 Content review / sum up • Provide the content initially and then use some random questions to help students recall what they have learnt, summarizing up the main points.
- 13. Add your questions in text1.5
- 14. Tip When adding questions in the text use meaningful titles for your pages (content and questions). Specially a sequential numbered order in questions (Q1, Q2, Q3 etc) may be particularly helpful later.
- 15. Tip When preparing your questions, do it well! Although questions can be pretty simple, it worth making them complete: ● Consider the type of question you'll use ● Mark the right question and ● Note the feedback for correct and wrong answers

- 20. Tip When setting up the draft lesson all you got to be carefull with is to use the “real” page names. For example: Flame robin [C1] Question 1 Taxonomy [C2] Question 2
- 21. Tip When setting up the draft lesson don't worry about the jumps, leave the default jumps as they are. Next page This page etc
- 22. Tip If you decide to use many lessons in your course, then perhaps it worths to make the draft lesson (step 2) dublicated as many times need and fill them up.

- 26. Tip When filling up the lesson, make sure that first answer is always the correct answer. Specially in Multiple choice questions this will save you a lot of time!
- 27. Tip In order to have a real student example do check it as a real student. The "change role" in this case won't cover your experience.
Editor's Notes
- Hello, I am Anna Krassa and I am an MCCC Mentor Assessor, working with HRDNZ Moodle Partner since 2007. Today I am going to show you “how to” on Lesson module. From a pedagogical perspective lesson is one of the most powerful tools that Moodle provides. It can be used with many ways: from content delivering, as a simple resource, until personalised training. Lesson activity can support scaffolding, self-directed learning, self-assessment and formal assessment, role playing, decision making exercises, scenario's based learning, different learning styles, reflection activities and more that I probably can't think off. In this presentation we are going to show the "how to" for lessons, organising the whole setup in just three steps.

- Before describing those three steps, let's see what lesson really is. Lesson is a sequence of pages. Pages may be context pages or questions. This sounds pretty simple, eh? Well, let's see how a simple thing may become complicated. Fist of all, note that lesson supports six types of questions: multichoice essay mathcing numerical short answer true/false

- Secondly each Content and Question page has a Jumps menu. "Jumps" take a student from one page to another. Jumps define the learning path that someone will follow. For example someone can follow the sequential order: C1 → Q1 → C2 → Q2 C1 → C2 allow student skip the questions (for those who like reading) C1 → Q1 → Q2 take them directly to questions (for those who think they already know everything) C1 → Q1 → WA → C1 take them back to the content page só they can re-read C1 → Q1 → CX specific answer student can take some more content (eg. Additional information about the subject), with even more questions, which can also be linked in several ways with any other page.
- The easiest way to check a lesson's path is from the collapsed view.
- The easiest way to implement the quite common rule of "correct answer leads you to the next page, wrong answer will keep you where you are" is to use the "next page" in correct answer and "this page" in wrong asnwer.
- Having the structure just in front of me, it's easy now to fill the pages wth real content and define the jumps. If you hadn't the structure ready, you couldn't work with the jumps now. I found working like this helpful and more “clear”. Because I avoid editing multiple times the same page, which can be extremely confusing and time consuming. Having all the pages in the jump dropdown menu, you can now build more complicated jumps.
