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.
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.
NOTE: 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:
-
