Since it's been over two years without any further information provided, we're closing this Jira issue for now. If more details become available in the future, we can reopen it. Thank you.

Not sure if commenting still necessary after Becky's comment, but I'd favour a solution within Gradebook rather than Lessons as I think that would make administering marks simpler

FYI: Jiras have been fixed/closed for adding zero scores for non-participating students in these Lessons tools: Questions, Comments, Student Pages, and Comments in Student Pages: https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/LSNBLDR-778
I originally opened a JIRA for Student Pages/Comments, but extended it to Questions..wasn't aware of this Lessons use case..

I think there's related work on being able to do something to address the Question Feature which also uses or suffers from the same problem. Students who visit a page, and do not engage in a required question - have no way of being awarded a 0 for that item. In this case I'd vote for option 1, being able to associate a particular item to an item in the gradebook. This would be similar to the functionality of the Assignment tool and of how Gradebook items are linked to the Forum.

Solution #2 seems like it would overcome this issue.
Currently in Lessons you can mark a page as "Create Gradebook item when page is completed" however this grade is managed by Lessons and cannot be edited. The comments I see on this method are
So if a student never goes to the grade the gradebook item will be missing. The only solutions I can think of are.
1) Change the way Lessons works with gradebook and allow it to Associate with an existing item (Maybe as the only option) so the grade can be edited in the gradebook.
2) Have some button + method in Lessons to Assign the score of 0 for all users who haven't completed on that page. (I believe though this would prevent them from getting any other score)
It would be nice if all these scores were specifically editable but that seems like a feature far beyond either of these.
