The Basics of Moodle Learning Activities

3.6. The Lesson Activity

The Lesson activity consists of a series of Web pages that can be used to chunk larger amounts of content into manageable segments to present to students in an interactive fashion. In its simplest form, it contains a button at the bottom of the page that sends students to the next page. However, you can use this activity to create adaptive learning lessons. Here are some of its features and benefits:

• Create branching: Can be used to make self-directed, branching modules that adapt to student choices. Create interactive scenarios based solely on questions and answers.
• Can be graded: While not required, graded questions can be added to lessons.
• Remediation: If students answer a question incorrectly, you can set the activity to branch to remedial content.
• Check students understanding: Ask students questions and provide instant feedback. Question types can be multiple choice, true/false, short answer, numerical, matching, and essay.
