The Course Map

You can navigate through your courses using the Course Map. The Course Map will show

you all Units/Topics/Lessons/Activities found in your course. Click on the My Course Info tab to

see the Course Map button. Click on the Course Map button.

While you may view the structure of your courses in the Course Map, you are not able to

participate in any of the activities beyond the lesson in which you are currently working. You

must finish activities in the sequence they are listed. You can always go back to previous

lessons and review information before a quiz, test or cumulative exam, but you cannot move

forward without first successfully completing each activity in order.

The course navigation section is found on the left side of the Course Map. The activities

contained within a lesson are found on the right side of the Course Map.

Notice that activities you have completed are green and contain a checkmark to the left of

the activity name.

The activity that you should currently be working on is in blue.

Future activities, which you may not access until you have successfully finished previous

activities, are in gray.

Activities in the Virtual Classroom

Regardless of the type of course you are taking, you will encounter a variety of activities

designed to teach you the content and make learning fun. The following section previews

what those activities look like.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary is a great first step as you begin to build the foundation for your lesson.

The number of vocabulary words will vary in length depending on the lesson.

Type the vocabulary word into the Word text field.

The vocabulary word must be typed correctly.

o The word turns green if typed correctly.

Once the word is typed correctly, in the Definition section, click the Play button to

hear the definition read aloud.

If a Usage section also appears, click the Play button to hear the vocabulary word

used in a sentence.

If an Example section appears, view the vocabulary word explained as a graphical

Lecture Videos

Lectures are designed to engage and inform you on the topic at hand. Master teachers

explore and explain the topic while a slideshow runs concurrently in the same window to give

you a visual representation of what the teacher is discussing.

You may pause, rewind and stop playback in order to take eNotes or review at your own

pace.

When viewing a video lecture for the second time, you may also fast-forward so that you

can review only that information which is critical to success on your assessments.

The Lecture Video will automatically begin playing when you begin this activity.

If you need to exit the Virtual Classroom (because the bell rings or for some other

reason) and you have not finished watching the entire video, make sure to click the

red Exit button. If you close out of the browser window before clicking the red Exit

button, your place in the video will not be saved and the next time you log into that

course you’ll have to watch the video again from the beginning.

When you finish watching the video in its entirety, click the green Exit button in the

bottom left portion of your screen.

Lab Assessment

Lab Lecture (Math and Science Only)

Lab Lectures are the pre-cursor activity to our hands-on Lab Activities, known as Gizmos. The

Lab Lecture is designed to guide you through the Gizmo so that when you begin it as you

next activity in the Virtual Classroom you are well prepared and ready for success.

In the Lab Lecture a master teacher will discuss the topic covered in the Gizmo, walk you

through how to use the Gizmo and give you any necessary instruction to ensure you are

comfortable as you begin the Gizmo and the corresponding Lab Assessment.

The Lecture Video will automatically begin playing when you begin this activity.

You may pause, rewind and stop playback in order to take eNotes or review at your

own pace.

If you need to exit the Virtual Classroom (because the bell rings or for some other

reason) and you have not finished watching the entire video, make sure to click the

Lab Activity and Assessment (Math and Science Only)

Lab Assessments work hand-in-hand with the Lab Activities, also known as Gizmos. You will

work on the Lab Activity to become more familiar with the content taught throughout the

lesson in a hands-on way. Once you have completed the Lab Activity, you will then use that

information to take a Lab Assessment. The information in the Lab Assessment correlates

directly to the information covered in the Lab Activity.

There are 3-5 questions per Lab Assessment and you, by default, are given 60 minutes to

complete the assessment.

When you first begin the activity, you will see the Lab Assessment, a Task Bubble which

explains what you are to do next, and a link to the Lab Activity (Gizmo).

Practice/Homework, Test and Cumulative Exam Reviews

Before taking an assessment you have the opportunity to review lesson content. These

practice activities are designed to assess your knowledge on the lesson/topic and enable

you to understand what you do know, and what you need to review before attempting an

assessment. You will have review activities that appear before Quizzes, Topic Tests and

Cumulative Exams.

Practice/Homework and Review activities are comprised of questions that range from

multiple-choice and true/false to short answer essays. While you are working on the

assignment, if you have difficulty with a particular question you may have access to a Show

Me button which, when clicked, will open a separate browser window and show a master

teacher explaining how to solve the problem. These Show Me resources are a terrific way for

you to discover why you got a question wrong, so that you may be better prepared for your

assessment.

Answer the questions in the activity by either clicking into the appropriate radio button

or typing in your short answer.

If available, click the Show Me button if you want to see a master teacher explain how

to solve that problem/question.

When you finish answering all of the questions, click the Check Answers button to see

Glossary

To best prepare you for assessments, the Virtual Classroom contains a glossary so that you

may look up and review any vocabulary words you’ve encountered in any course.

You will not only see the word, but have the option to listen to its definition being read aloud,

and/or listen to the word used in a sentence, and see a graphical representation of the word

if appropriate.
