• Add Website - Upload a ZIP file. Supports Camtasia, Wimba Create, and Articulate, but any ZIP file containing resources may be uploaded.
• Add Subpage - Create another page to contain content, and link it to this one.
• Add Assignment - Choose an assignment from Sakai's Assignment tool, and add it to this page.
• Add Quiz - Choose an assignment from Sakai's Tests and Quizzes tool, and add it to this page.
• Add Forum Topic - Choose a topic from one of Sakai's forum tools, and add it to this page.
• Add External Tool - Normally you'll be told if you need to use this tool
• Add Comments Tool - Allow students to enter comments
• Add Student Content - Allow students to create a page with their own content. Other students can comment on it.

The "Settings" button at the top controls additional features that apply to the whole page. The "Edit" buttons next to each item control features that apply to that item.

• Multimedia Content In-depth instructions and technical tips regarding various browsers
• Web Accessibility Create accessible content using Lesson Builder
• Sequencing Require the completion of one or more tasks before others are released to students or project site participants.

There are several ways to use Lesson Builder pages. Here are two of the most common:

• Organizing material by topic or unit - For major topics, which you want to appear in the left margin, go to Site Info and add a new instance of Lesson Builder using Edit Tools. This process will ask you to supply a title for the new unit. You can change the title later with the "Edit title" button.
• Organizing material within a topic - See Example 2 in the right margin. We created pages to contain information about three specific subtopics, all linked to from the same main page. To create such a page, use the Add subpage button in the toolbar at the top of the page.

  Note that Add subpage puts you into the newly created page, so you can add content. You can return to the current page using links at the top of the page.

In many cases the two methods above are all you need. However it is also possible to use lesson builder to build more complex structures of pages. Here are a couple of approaches to doing that:

• Building a sequence of pages Sometimes you want students to go through a specific sequence of pages. Normally we recommend creating the pages as subpages from a single main page, as in Example 2. That makes it easy for students to review all of the material. But if you want to push students to go through in a particular sequence, you can add a link to the next page, typically at the bottom of the page. If you do this several times, you will build a sequence of pages.

  To add a next page, use Add subpage, but select the option "next page". Typically you'll also want to select "show as button".

  Checking "next page" gives a page that won't normally return to the current one. (Of course the student can always get to any page using the page index, unless you have restricted access to the page.)

  Checking "show as button" gives you a button rather than a link.

• Going to different pages depending upon a student choice See example 3 in the right margin. Sometimes you may want to ask a question and have students go to a different page depending upon how they answer the question. To do that, ask the question using Add text , and then put two next page items under it, going to different pages. To do that, use Add subpage twice.

  The options you use for Add subpage are up to you. In example 3 we used "show as button" and "next page."
