Moodle 2.0

Adding Interaction with Lessons and Assignments
Even if your file type is supported by one of Moodle's viewers, you might want to
embed the file in a web page instead. Putting the file on a web page allows you to
write an explanation at the top of the page, such as "You will refer to this graphic
during the lesson. Reposition this window and the lesson window so that you can
see both windows at the same time, or easily switch between the two".
If you combine this with the Slide show setting that we saw earlier in this chapter,
you'll have the Moodle slide show displayed in one window, and the specified file
displayed in another.
A lesson can be graded or ungraded. You also can allow students to retake the
lesson. Even though Moodle allows you to grade a lesson, remember that a lesson's
primary purpose is to teach, not to test.
Don't use a Lesson to do the work of a Quiz or Assignment.
The lesson's score is there to give you feedback on the effectiveness of each page, and
to allow students to judge their own progress.

Immediately after you save your lesson settings, Moodle presents you with the
following page:
