Moodle lesson allows instructors to build various types of learning paths to assess student’s understanding of key concepts

Moodle lesson allows users to create series of connected pages or ‘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 e.g. images audio and video.

Moodle Lesson is useful for:

  • Decision making exercises
  • Simulations
  • Independent Revision
  • Subject Practice
  • Creating individual learning paths
A lesson is made up of pages which may have content for the student to read or questions for them to answer. 

You need to have a clear idea beforehand of what you want to do with this lesson.
  • Is it to 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?
It might find it useful to note down on paper the direction they want their lesson pages to go in, rather than having to remember and visualize the navigation in their head.
