# Building a Lesson in Moodle

The last article outlined [how to add a lesson to a course in Moodle 2.3](/support/edu/moodle/add-lesson-module/). This article will focus on building the Lesson for functionality. The focus of this article is to explain the different options available for the Lessons. Some of these articles will not be explained further; however, the **Add a content page** and **Add a question page** will be discussed in detail in other articles.

**Important!** Keep in mind that [Editing must be turned on](/support/edu/moodle/creating-courses-in-moodle/) in the Settings section in order to edit any of these options.

### Options to build the Lessons

1. [log into the Moodle Dashboard](/support/edu/moodle/moodle-login-administrator/)
2. Select the course on the left in the **Navigation**. Click the **Add an activity or resource **link, for the course section, to access the module list.
3.

This is where the different functions can be added to the Lesson. The options are **Import questions**, **Import PowerPoint**, **Add a cluster**, **Add a content page**, and **Add a question page**. Below is a description of Each section.
