Selecting the content of a lesson
Selecting a lesson in the course structure displays buttons on the right-hand side for calling the associated modes and documents or, in the case of a book, a button for calling the book.
Integrated documents
The documents belonging to a lesson are displayed in the topmost row. These can be Word, PDF or HTML documents, for example, as well as audio, video or photo files. When a document is selected, it is displayed in the relevant program.
Lesson modes
The modes belonging to a lesson are displayed in the lower row. A lesson can contain up to four modes, fulfilling different learning goals.
• Demo
mode
A lesson runs as a simulation, allowing a process to be watched and
followed. Each step is explained with descriptions corresponding to each
action.
A navigation bar is displayed for controlling the mode.
• Practice
mode
Instructions allow you to interact with a lesson, perform actions
and processes by yourself and thereby understand them.
• Test
mode
In test mode you can run through a lesson on your own and without
supporting explanations. This serves to inwardly digest and test one's existing
knowledge. When you perform an action, you receive confirmation whether it was
performed correctly.
At the end of the mode, you are shown the result of how
many of the actions were performed correctly.
• Concurrent
mode
Concurrent mode can be used in parallel with working with an
application and helps you as the process unfolds. You are shown step by step in
a window the course of events, which can be individually controlled. This allows
you to comprehend what is going on and perform these actions in the actual
application.
Descriptions
You will find a description and other information about the learning content you have selected beneath the lesson selection button. This information can give you an idea, for example, of what the lesson is about, what the objective is of the process in question or what prior knowledge is required.
