Lessons
Lessons is a flexible tool for adding content to your Sakai site.
- If the content you want to share with students is mostly in the form of files or documents -- like PowerPoints, Word docs, PDFs, and so on -- then the Resources tool may be all you need.
- But if you want something a bit fancier -- if you want to create pages with text, graphics, videos, and links to web sites, files or assignments -- then you will want to use the Lessons tool.
- With the Lessons tool you can create subpages to organize your content.
- For example, many instructors create a subpage for each week of the course, so students can find the week's materials and assignments all together in one place.
