Here you set who can access this content. By default anyone enrolled in the course has access to any content under the Lessons tab.

Assignment Tab

You can add a content item to the gradebook in the assignment tab. You can either make it a new assignment, or link it to an existing assignment in the gradebook.

Changing Course Content Settings
 
After you create a new content item, you can edit the settings by selecting the "settings" link that appears below the item's title when you mouse over. Clicking the settings link sends you the tabbed settings view.
