📑How to Create a Lesson with a Downloadable PDF for Students

This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to add a downloadable PDF document to your lessons on LDT. This feature helps your students easily access and download supplementary materials, optimizing their learning experience and enhancing the effectiveness of your course.

Step 1: Access Your Course and Create a New Lesson

From your LDT admin dashboard, navigate to the Courses section.

Select the course you want to add a lesson to. If you don't have one, create a new course first.

In the course interface, you'll see your modules. Choose an existing module or click "Add new module / section" to create a new one.

Inside your chosen module, click the "Add new lesson" button to start creating the lesson.

Step 2: Fill in Basic Lesson Information

In the Lesson information section, enter a Lesson title and a Short description if desired.

Important Options:

• Check the box for "Require student to complete before next" if you want to make this lesson mandatory. This ensures students must complete it (e.g., download the file or mark it as complete) before proceeding to the next lesson, maintaining the course flow.

• DO NOT check the box for "This isn’t a lesson" unless the content is a notification or an introductory page without any required completion.

Step 3: Add the PDF File to the Lesson Content

Click the "Content type" dropdown menu and select "Downloadable file."

A file manager will appear. From here, you can:

Select an existing PDF file from your library (a list of files you have previously uploaded).

• Click "Upload new file" to upload a new PDF from your computer.

• After selecting your desired PDF file (e.g., CSS.pdf), click Select file to confirm.

Set Visibility:

In the Access & visibility section, choose the status for your lesson:

• Published: The lesson is immediately visible to students.

• Draft: Only you can see and edit the lesson.

• Schedule/Drip: The lesson will become visible after a specified period of time.

Once all settings are complete, click the Save button to save your lesson.
