Moodle Activity: Lessons

Moodle Lesson takes a bit of time to set up; once it's up and running, however, you will not need to do a whole lot unless you want to update it. You can set up the lesson in a variety of ways, depending on the task, teaching goals, and learners' preferred styles. Here are a few options regarding how you can set up the lesson:

• Flash card style (useful for practicing or reviewing for tests)
• Simulations (such as CPR training discussed in the book)
• Information, then question (s) with branching to retake the question if wrongly answered, or more information and question again, or a different path.

What you choose will determine how you set up the lesson. Flow charts are very useful to help you plan the activity before you start using the module. I have created four flow charts (included with this document) that you can use to help you plan your Lesson Activity:

• Flash cards
• Role play
• Choose a learning path
• One path questions
• Two path questions

You have my permission to download, copy edit, and use these flow charts as you need to plan your lessons.
