Publishing Your Lesson

Lessons that you write, or copy and edit, can be published on the CALI website and made available to your students. You do not need to complete this step if you have contracted with CALI to author a lesson—CALI will publish those lessons for you. This step applies only to faculty who are self-publishing a lesson for their own students.

These self-published lessons are not listed in the main CALI Lesson library on the CALI website. CALI hosts the lessons, but faculty must share the self-published lesson URLs with students in order to assign them. The best way to do this is through a LessonLink.

Once you have completed your lesson, you can publish your lesson from your My Lessons page. Next to the lesson you want to publish, select the arrow icon for Publish my lesson on www.cali.org. (Hovering over the icons will reveal their functions.) Upon publishing the lesson, you will be taken to the lesson. You will also receive an email from webmaster@cali.org with the subject “[CALI] About Your Self Published Lesson.”

Once you have published your lesson, a new option to Run my published lesson on www.cali.org that looks like a play button will appear for that lesson. Selecting that button will take you to the live lesson.

Tip: If you publish your lesson and then make additional edits, you will need to re-publish for the changes to take effect on the published version. From your My Lessons page, choose the arrow icon to Update my published lesson on www.cali.org.
Next, follow the instructions to assign the lesson using LessonLink.
