Overview
Each course in platform has steps. These steps are the containers for course activities, exercises, and assignments. Some steps are 'required' and others are 'optional'.
If you try to skip a required step, you will see a message asking you to complete a previous (required) step before moving on to this step (or any future steps).
Completing a Step
To complete a step:
Select the first step without a checkmark.
Engage in the step materials by reading, listening to, or watching the step content.
When a step has a 'response type' complete that to complete the step.
There are several response types and you only need to select one type to complete the step. Here is an example of a text response:
Saige Coach: If the step has a 'text response' and Saige™ Coach is enabled, you can engage with your coach to deepen your learning experience.
You can always go back to chat with Saige Coach on any step this is enabled.
Peer Learning:: If peer learning is enabled, you can click the 'Show Responses' button to view and comment on your peers' responses.
You can always go back to chat with peers on any step it is enabled.
Once you have completed the step, click the 'Next' button to move forward.
Comment/Chat Window Pane: Everytime you engage in either a chat with Saige Coach, or with peers about the learning material, the right hand window pane will open. This keeps the experience clean and consistent, always in the same place.
Click 'Close' to leave any learning conversation.
