- Consistent wording "e-mail"
1: \label{General_Intro}
2: \section*{Introduction}
3: Help screens like this one will be available at certain points in the system.
4: You will recognize them by a small blue circle containing a white question mark symbol:
5: \includegraphics[width=0.025\paperwidth]{help}
6:
7: After you log into LON-CAPA, you will see a list of roles/courses you currently
8: have in the system.
9:
10: From that screen listing your roles, you will want to select a certain role,
11: for example: the student role in a particular course.
12: (hit the \textbf{Select} button next to the course you want to enter).
13:
14: After you have selected a role, you can return to the roles/courses screen by clicking the
15: ``Courses'' link (named ``Roles'' for some types of user), at the top right of the page
16: (one of four links which are displayed there on every LON-CAPA page).
17:
18: The screen listing your current roles also includes a ``Functions'' menu with
19: a symbol/link: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{chkrole}
20: ``Check for changes'' which you can use to check if new roles have been assigned
21: to you since you last logged in.
22:
23: \section*{Navigating a Course}
24: You can move forward and backward in the content with the respective buttons:
25: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{forw} and \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{back}
26: at the left side of the inline menu.
27: You can click the \textbf{Contents} link to display a listing of the course
28: contents from where you can quickly move to a particular page in the course.
29: \section*{Homework}
30: Your course might offer online homework. You can identify homework by the
31: colorful symbols (yellow - available; green - solved; red - past due) in the
32: \textbf{Contents} screen. You might have
33: more than one try to solve a homework problem, and the system
34: stores all attempts.
35:
36: As you solve a problem, the computer will give you a receipt number.
37: Please write down this number in your records, it is your proof that you have
38: solved the homework.
39: \section*{Communication}
40: LON-CAPA has built-in communication support. You can send messages regarding
41: the course content using the \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{fdbk}
42: symbol/link at the right side of the page.
43: You can choose different categories of feedback, including a contribution to
44: the course discussion.
45:
46: Normal feedback gets routed to the TAs and course faculty.
47:
48: Course discussions are page-specific discussion boards and appear right under
49: the page content you are viewing. You can choose to post anonymously, in which
50: case only the course faculty can see your name.
51:
52: To send internal messages, or look at replies to your feedback, use the
53: \textbf{Messages} link at the top of the page.
54:
55: Please use the built-in communication rather than normal e-mail, since it
56: automatically provides context for your questions and concerns.
