How do I navigate through a module?
Navigating through modules is fairly straightforward. Each page has "Next" and "Previous" arrows located in the upper right-hand corner. On frames pages, you'll find the arrows at the bottom of the left-hand frame.

I'm finished with a module, how do I start a new one?
There are two ways to begin a new module. 1) Select the "Home" link located on the left-hand side of each module page and link to the module you want to begin. 2) Select the "Module Contents" link located on the left-hand side of each module page, click "Back to Top," then choose the module you'd like to start.

I'm in a module and there's a word I'm unfamiliar with, how do I find out what it means?
If you run across a term you don't know, simply click the "Glossary" link located on the left-hand side of each module page. Don't worry, you won't lose the page you're on; the link opens the Glossary in a new window. The glossary allows you to either access terms arranged by module or to choose terms by letter of the alphabet.

I'd like to complete the tutorial modules from off-campus, are there special specifications for doing so?
You are welcome to complete the tutorial modules from any off-campus location providing internet access. The tutorial modules are located on the "free web" so you won't need a username or password to access them from an off-campus location.

I'm done with a module, how do I take access the corresponding quiz?
To access a quiz, click the "Take a Quiz" link located on the left-hand side of every module page. This will open the quiz login page in new window. You can also select the "Take a Quiz" link on the tutorial's homepage. Using your Desire2Learn username and password, login and then click the "Quizzes" link. Select the quiz you'd like to take, complete it, and submit it for grading. To exit a quiz and return to the tutorial modules, simply close the quiz window.

When I access the quiz page it asks for a Desire2Learn username and password, what are these?
Your Desire2Learn username is your Parkside email username (e.g., smith003). You do not need the @uwp.edu portion of your email address, only your username. Your password is your university "A" number including the capital "A." The Desire2Learn system is case sensitive. If you have trouble logging in, first check that your Desire2Learn username is all lowercase and the "A" in your password is uppercase. If you still can't log in, contact the Reference Desk (595-2360) or AskUs! for help.

I've read a quiz question and have no idea what the answer is, what should I do?

Do I need to use a specific browser to access the quizzes and tutorial modules?
We recommend that you use Internet Explorer to view the quizzes and tutorial modules. While earlier versions (no earlier than version 5.0) should work fine, the modules were created for best viewing in Internet Explorer version 6+. If you're using Netscape, make sure you've downloaded the most recent version or the tutorial won't display correctly. The tutorial also views correctly in the Mozilla browser version 1.4+. If you need additional assistance, contact the Help Desk at 595-2444.

The module/quiz pages don't fit on my monitor screen, what can I do to fix this?
The modules and quizzes were created to best fit an 800x600 screen size. If you're not sure how to format your screen settings, contact the Help Desk (595-2444) for assistance.
