Students typically take quizzes and tests online at the end of each unit. All courses feature a standard Toolbar that links students to important course tools. One click on the Tools button brings up a menu that lets students see the contents of the course, their course notebook, a communications center for writing to the teacher or other students, a search tool to find topics within the course, their Grade Report, a help system, and other related information. Contents Viewer From the Toolbar, students have access to the Contents Viewer, or course site map, which is a visual representation of the course's content. The Viewer is collapsible or expandable, with color-coding viewed in either tree or outline format.
Yellow highlights indicate places that the student has been within the course.
Blue indicates places the student needs to visit. Red indicates the student's current location in the course. Students and teachers can access the site map at any time to monitor their progress. They are able to capture graphics and text from inside the course and from the Internet and store them for future reference. In addition they can use these materials for course projects.
