How do I add a question to a Lessons page?
Instructors can add either a Multiple Choice question or a Short Answer question to a Lessons Page. The questions can either be in poll form (no correct answer) or in graded form (correct answer).
Go to Lessons.
Click on the Lessons Page Title (e.g. Unit #1) in the Tool Menu to display the page.
Note: The default or blank Lessons page contains text and images that explain the basic functionality of the Lessons tool.
