7: have in the system.
8:
9: You will also see a little window on the site, which is called the Remote

12: a description of the shorthand buttons on the Remote Control, you can click
13: the blue \textbf{EXTENDED DISPLAY} button.
14:

22: button to quickly move to a page
23: in the course.
24: \section*{Homework}
25: Your course might offer online homework. You can identify homework by the
26: colorful symbols (yellow - available; green - solved; red - past due) in the
27: \textbf{NAV} screen. You might have
28: more than one try to solve a homework problem, and the system
29: stores all attempts.
30:
31: As you solve a problem, the computer will give you a receipt number.
32: Please write down this number in your records, it is your proof that you have
33: solved the homework.
34: \section*{Communication}
35: LON-CAPA has built-in communication support. You can send messages regarding
36: the course content using the \textbf{FDBK} (``Feedback'')
37: button in the Remote Control.
38: You can choose different categories of feedback, including a contribution to
39: the course discussion.
40:
41: Normal feedback gets routed to the TAs and course faculty.
42:
43: Course discussions are page-specific bulletin boards and come up right under
44: the page that you are viewing. You can choose to post anonymously, in which

46:
47: To send internal email, or look at replies to your feedback, use the
48: \textbf{COM}
49: (``Communication'') button.
50:
51: Please use the built-in communication rather than normal email, since it
52: automatically provides context for your questions and concerns.
