How do I add tests and quizzes to a Lessons page?

Updated on

Instructors may add links to site activities (i.e., Assignments, Discussions, Test & Quizzes) on Lessons pages.

Note: These links will automatically update to maintain links to published activities if you copy your course content to a new site, as long as you do not change the name of the activity. However, you will need to publish your activities in the new site for the links to become active.

Go to Lessons.

Lessons tool highlighted in site tool menu

If you titled your page something other than Lessons, select the title of the page as it appears in your Tool Menu.

Select Add Content.

Lessons tool actions menu

Select Add Content from the Actions Menu.
