The lesson module presents a series of HTML pages to the user 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 user can select a continue button at the bottom of the page, which will send them to the next page in the Lesson.
There are 2 basic Lesson page types that the user will see: question pages and content pages. There are also several advanced navigational pages which can meet more specialized needs of the instructor. The Lesson module was designed to be adaptive and to use a user’s choices to create a self directed lesson.
The main difference between a Lesson and other activity modules available in LMS comes from its adaptive ability. With this tool, each choice the users makes can show a different instructor response/comment and send the user to a different page in the lesson. Thus with planning, the Lesson module can customize the presentation of content and questions to each user with no further action required by the instructor.
