Tech Tips: Spotlight on Tutorials
FOR-PD wants to remind you that there are several tutorials offered for the course which cover the different tools you will use in the course. The tutorials are located in the course menu; look for the link that says "Tutorials" under the Help Desk link.
Currently there are eight tutorials available:
- Discussions
- Quizzes
- Course Mail
- Chat
- Windows Media Player
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- RealPlayer
- QuickTime
These tutorials have good information on using each tool, installing necessary software, and answering common questions from participants. Each tutorial is provided as a webpage (View in HTML) or as a printable PDF. Some of the tutorials are also provided in a video format, where you can actually see the steps you need to take to complete each task. You will need to have Adobe Flash Player installed in order to view the videos. If you do not have this already installed, a link to install the Flash Player is provided on the tutorials page.
We advise that you look over each tutorial to gain a better understanding of each tool and find answers to your questions. If you ever run into a problem while taking the course, you can always refer back to these tutorials. Remember, you can easily find the tutorials in the course menu; they are listed as "Tutorials".
