Managing Lessons

What is a Lesson?

A Lesson is the core learning unit in LEAST. Each lesson has a title, description, and one or more materials (links to content). LEAST links to content hosted elsewhere — YouTube, Vimeo, external websites, SCORM packages — rather than storing files directly.

Creating a Lesson

  1. Navigate to your class → Lessons → New Lesson
  2. Enter: title, description, and learning objectives
  3. Set: subject area, pillar (curriculum area), difficulty level
  4. Save — you can now add materials

Editing a Lesson

  1. Open the lesson from the class lesson list
  2. Click Edit to modify title, description, or metadata
  3. Changes are visible to learners immediately

Lesson Metadata

Title Display name shown to learners
Description Summary of what the lesson covers
Learning Objectives Outcomes the learner will achieve
Pillar Curriculum category (used for discovery and reporting)

AI-Assisted Tagging

LEAST can automatically suggest role tags, skill connections, and EKOS competency links for lessons using the AI Enrichment Tools. Review AI suggestions before publishing.

Publishing and Visibility

  • Draft — visible only to educators; not shown to learners
  • Published — available to learners in the class
  • Archived — hidden from the lesson list but preserved in history

Lesson Review Queue

When using the AI content pipeline, new lessons enter a Review Queue before going live:

  1. Navigate to Educator → Lesson Review Queue
  2. Review AI-generated metadata
  3. Approve or edit before publishing

Tracking Progress

Learner engagement with lessons is tracked automatically. View per-lesson statistics in Analytics & Reports.
