• Enables adaptability of the content according to the previous knowledge of the student;

• It allows you to create a system of individualized content and activities for each student;


• A SmartLesson can jump to any page of another SmartLesson in the same course;

• The jumps can be setup on the selection option box of the view edit form;


• All the created page titles become also links in the body of content if they are present on it;

SmartLesson x Lesson

• All the SmartLesson setup follows exactly the setup of the Lesson feature, they have similar setup forms and the same parameters;

SmartLesson x Lesson• The great advantage of SmartLesson is the ability to create granular content-based topics;

• Instead of having a collection of screens in a single resource Lesson, we have a collection of features of SmartLessons that can be combined and recombined;

SmartLesson x Lesson

– When the jump occurs from one SmartLesson to another, the SmartLesson undestand that this resource ended;
