2. Lesson settings

This page explains the settings involved when first creating a lesson. To add a lesson to your Moodle course page:

  • With the editing turned on, in the section you wish to add your lesson, click the "Add an activity or resource" link (or, if not present, the "Add an activity" drop down menu) and choose Lesson

  • This will take you to the Lesson settings page.

Lesson administration settings

General

  • Note: Click the "Show Advanced" button to the right if you don't see all the options below.

Name

  • The name you add here will be the link the students click on to get to your Lesson.

Time limit

  • This allows you to set a time limit on the lesson. Students will see a countdown counter as they work. The timer does not stop them doing the lesson when the time is up, but correct answers are no longer scored.

Available from/Deadline

  • Here you can set a start and end date and time for your Lesson.

Maximum Number of Answers

  • Here you can set the default number of answer boxes available when you add your question or content pages. For instance, if you are only going to use True/False, you would only need 2. You can change this at any time so it's not crucial.

Password protected

  • Change to "Yes" and enter the password if you want students only to access it when they know the password.

Grade

  • Set a grade and grade category here.
