Course Map

 

Overview

The Virtual Classroom allows Instructors and Students to participate in real-time lessons and discussions. The Course Map enables participants to browse the Course Contents while they are in a Virtual Classroom. By default, the Instructor has access to operate the Course Map.

 

Note: The Course Map in the Virtual Classroom appears similar to the Course Map, accessed through the Course menu, but they are functionally different. The Course Map in the Virtual Classroom can only access Content Areas in a course.

The Instructor may locate and open an Assessment from the Content Area where it has been posted through the Course Map. Students may also open the Assessment from this Content Area to view the questions and answers they submitted. The feedback options in Test Options must be enabled by the Instructor for Students to view the correct and incorrect answers on an Assessment.
