An overview of the course
The toolkit is presented here in the form of
three course modules:
- Using the toolkit: provides you with full instructions for
using the toolkit
- Sample pages: contains templates for common presentational
and question pages
- Sample test: contains templates for creating pre and post
tests
It makes sense to start with 'using the toolkit'.

Selecting
modules
The course modules are listed in the left margin. To select a
module just click on it. The module you are working on will be shown in yellow.
Moving between pages and levels
At the top right of the screen you will see three buttons. At
the moment they are all inactive, like this:
  
When they are available to use they look like
this:
  
When a series of pages is being presented in
sequence, you can use the left and right buttons to take you to the previous and next
pages respectively. The central button takes you to the next level up in the course,
whether this is the current page (if you have been viewing the glossary), the beginning of
the module or the course title page.
Answering
questions
Throughout the course, there will be plenty of opportunities
for you to interact. Your answers to these questions are not scored in any way, so feel
free to experiment - you can select as many alternative answers as you wish before moving
on.
The final test is a little different in that this time you
will be scored. You'll receive no feedback as you go through the quiz, but you
will see a summary of your scores at the end.
Progress
report
From the course title page, you can access
your progress report at any time. This acts as a reminder of the modules you have not
started, started or completed and, for tests, whether you have not started the test,
failed or passed.
As you go through the course modules, any sections you
have completed will be ticked off on the module menus. If the ticks appear to relate to a
previous user rather than yourself, you can click on the reset button to remove them.
Exiting
the course
You can exit the course at any time by
clicking on the following button in the left margin:
The glossary and other features
On some pages you will find direct links within the text to
the glossary, which provides definitions and explanations about technical terms and
concepts. Many glossary entries also provide links to other entries. You can navigate
between glossary entries and return to your original page, using the standard page and
level controls.
You can also access the glossary directly by clicking on
the following button in the left hand margin:
When you are working through a module, you will encounter
a variety of symbols. These simply indicate the nature of the text to follow; they are not
clickable.
