The Moodle lesson is a valuable tool for creating engaging online course content. A Lesson contains pages of lesson content (this could be text, images, or video) and questions (which can be auto-graded) that are delivered in a specific sequence. The lesson can help you "chunk" large amounts of content into shorter, bite-sized sections that are easier to remember, and intersperse this with active learning activities that reinforce learning. The following 2 brief (4.5 min. each) videos explain how to create a Moodle Lesson.
