Instructors can add subpages to a top-level Lessons page. A top-level Lessons page is a Lessons page that is listed by name in the Tool Menu. Subpages are connected to top-level Lessons pages by a link or a button.

Note: Subpages are added to whatever page the Add Content / Add Subpage function is accessed from. To add multiple subpages to a top-level page, make sure you access the Add Content / Add Subpage function from the original top-level Lessons page and not from a subpage.

Most of the items that can be added to a Lessons page can be made "required". That is, students must open (if the item is a resource) or complete (if the item is a forum posting, quiz, assignment, question, comment or student page).  Further, the Lessons tool allows instructors to require students to complete one item in the list before allowing access to another item in the list.

Lessons tool Items that can be required:

• Add Content items (requires student to open resource or link)
• Add Assignment items (requires student to submit the assignment)
• Add Quiz items (requires student to submit the quiz and/or achieve a minimum grade on the quiz)
• Add Forum Topics items (requires student to create a post on a selected forum topic)
• Add Question items (requires student to submit an answer to the question)
• Add Comment items (requires student to add a comment)
• Add Student Content (requires student to add a new student page)

Lessons tool items that can be set as unavailable until required items above it in the list are completed:

• Text items
• Embedded items
• Content links
• Assignment links
• Quiz links
• Forum Topic links
• Question items
• Add Comment items
• Student Content
• Subpages (See How do I add subpages to a Lessons page? for more information on subpages.)

The Lessons tool allows instructors to export course content in IMS Common Cartridge format. If your Lessons contain links to site activities (e.g. assignments, forum topic, or quizzes) or resources (e.g. files, url links) those items will also be exported in the content package.

Note: Pages added by students via the Student Pages tool are not included in the export file.
