In Activities, you can access practice, workbook, lab, and video manual activities; presentations and tutorials; communication activities; and instructor-created activities for each lesson. You can view and submit both assigned and unassigned activities (even those that are overdue) by going directly to a lesson or unit.
Use the following to navigate to activities within a lesson:
a. Lesson drop-down: Use the drop-down menu to select a lesson for viewing.
b. Lesson menu: All activities in a lesson are organized using the same sections and subsections found in the lessons in your textbook. You can navigate between a lesson’s sections and subsections using the menu located on the left-hand side of the Activities page.
Note: When selecting a lesson, the lesson menu on the right will automatically update its content according to the lesson you have selected. Click on a lesson menu (and one of its subsections) to view its activities.
In order to access these activities, you must have the proper access privileges.
c. Lesson table of contents: The table of contents on the right side of the page is arranged in three columns:
- Activity: Displays activities found within component categories such as Presentations and Tutorials, Practice Activities and Workbook, Lab Manual and Video Manual activities (your account must include proper access to view workbook, lab, and video manual), communication activities, and instructor-created activities.
- Status: All activities are labeled according to their state of completion. To discover the current status of an activity, look at the status column to find the following labels:
- Viewed: This status displays after you view a presentation or tutorial.
- Opened: This status displays when an activity is incomplete or has not been submitted to your instructor’s gradebook. It will apply to any activity for which you have done some work, by either using an attempt or saving work.
Note: Activities that do not have a status label have not been opened.
-
Due date: Assignment due dates are displayed in the due date column for each activity that your instructor assigns. Dates display as Today, Tomorrow, or a specific month and date (mm/dd).
To open and complete an activity:
1. From the lesson table of contents on the left-hand side of the Activities page, click on an activity’s title link on the right-hand side.
2. On the activity page, complete all of the question items. See steps 4-6 in “Viewing and Completing Assigned Work Using the Assignments Menu.” For composition activities, see the following section.
