The checkmarks indicate that the student has assignments in those curriculum areas. Clicking on the curriculum area name will open the curriculum area to reveal the categories. This can be repeated on the category level to reveal the assigned lessons.  After the curriculum area or category has been opened, a ‘+’ button  or a ‘-‘ button will appear to the left of the name.  If these buttons are present, use these buttons to expand or minimize the selection.

Each lesson will begin with instructions or descriptions.  Read any instructions or lesson descriptions. Use the forward and back arrows to view or review screens.

 

 

Some lessons will have pictures for answers like the slide below.  For these slides, place the arrow cursor over the desired picture and click the mouse button to select. Once an answer has been chosen, a forward arrow will appear at the bottom right corner of the slide.  Click this arrow to move ahead to the next question. 

 

 

 

 

Other lessons will have answer bars below the slide.  For these slides, click the bar labeled with the correct answer. Once an answer has been chosen, a forward arrow will appear at the bottom left corner of the slide.  Click this arrow to move ahead to the next question. 

 

 

Two blue bars on the right hand side of the screen keep track of how many questions are completed and how many have been answered correctly.

 

When the lesson is complete, MTSPlayer will display the score achieved. Click the FINISHED button to continue.

 

When "Finished!" is clicked, if lesson is passed, MTSPlayer will direct to the screen that allows chosing another lesson. If lesson was failed and resources are linked to the objective, we will see a screen similar to below:
