EdgeEX — Customizing courses: Adding a lesson to a course, section, or enrollment

Use this article to add lessons to existing units in a course from the EdgeEX library. You can also create your own unit and add lessons to it; reference steps for creating a unit in EdgeEX — Customizing courses: Adding a unit to a course, section, or enrollment. (In 2025, you'll also be able to add teacher-created lessons to a course.)

Some reasons to add lessons from one course to another include:

  • Adding an Honors lesson to an Initial Credit course.
  • Adding related math lessons to a science course.
  • Covering a specific set of concepts.

For information about how course customization works in general, reference EdgeEX — Customizing courses overview.
