While you don’t need to use this outline feature to navigate, it can be helpful if there is a specific activity you want to review and is an easy way to move from one activity to another without going in sequential order. Now let’s exit the outline view.

Before each section there are study questions and an outline of what you will be learning. Simply use the right arrow to move forward and the left arrow to go backward.

There are a variety of features available within the videos as outlined below.

You can opt to go to the “Interactive Script”, which displays the text while also showing the video. Within this script you can quickly move from one point within the video to another by clicking any block of text.

The next activity type are the text documents that provide a summary about the topic.

The labs are designed to give you experience within a simulated environment. Be sure to complete the section “Using the Simulator” (as shown below) at the beginning of the course for assistance in learning how to use all the simulation tools.

First read the lab scenario. The tasks are listed as bullet points. Click “Start Lab” to begin.

After completing a task move on to the next task. Remember you will not receive any feedback at this point. Once you have completed all the tasks click the “Done” button.

Within the “Explanation” section of the lab summary is a list of steps to help you identify what you needed to do in order to complete the tasks. You can click the printer button to get a hardcopy of this detail.

The section exams are designed as an additional learning tool and the amount of questions varies per exam. Click “Start Exam” to begin.

After answering all the questions click “Score Test”.

A performance report will be displayed to show how well and quickly you were able to complete the exam. Don’t worry if you didn’t get the recommended 80% your first try, you can redo the exams as often as you like.
