Lessons
Lessons is a flexible tool for adding content to your Sakai site.
- With the Lessons tool, you can share all kinds of content with students, including web links, documents, videos, and links to assignments, tests/quizzes, and forums.
- You can also create weekly subpages to organize your content, so students can find the week's materials and assignments all together in one place.
If you're teaching an online or hybrid course, it's important to use the Lessons tool to organize the content for each week of the course. (The Lessons tool can be useful for face-to-face courses as well.)
Getting Started
