Potential Lesson Setting Pitfalls

Important Disclaimers with Lesson Settings

It is essential we remain upfront on the many nuances of lessons. Below are a few notes to consider when building your content to avoid unnecessary pitfalls. 

  • Progress Bar:
    • The Progress bar only works correctly for lessons with “straightforward” navigation, such as Page 1 > Page 2 > Page n > End of Lesson. It is not guaranteed to work properly with branching scenarios or excessive jumping to other pages.
    • For lessons containing content pages, once a lesson has been taken to the end, if that same lesson is re-taken, the progress bar will not be “reset”, i.e. it will show a 100% progress from Page 1. 
    • For lessons containing question pages and set to allow retakes
  • Menu Bar:
    • If you have questions throughout the lesson and students navigate using the menu bar, it’s possible they could skip questions unknowingly.
  • Time Limit:
    • It does not hinder the student from completing the lesson; however, any unanswered questions will not count if done after time is up.
  • Allow Student Review:
    • Only allows student review immediately after finishing a lesson.
    • If lesson only has content pages, it will review all content.
    • If lesson has content and/or question pages, it will review only question pages. Answers are view only.
  • “Maximum attempts per question” override the “Provide options to try question again” setting.
  • Retakes allowed:
    • Use mean(default): the average of the students’ attempts will be their final score
    • Use maximum: the highest score from the students’ attempts will be their final score
  • Reports Tab:
    • “Not Completed” entry – not completed means that student did not fully complete or submit the lesson. Lessons automatically registers those attempts as a zero. 
    • Students must reach the “Congratulation – You’ve reached the end of Lesson” page to know the lesson was completed
      • This page will mention the student’s current grade AND if essay questions are yet to be graded for their REAL grade.
