User Modes

• Upon your successful identification as a registered user, the system loads your personal use history (if there is any) and takes you to the Frontispiece to begin the session. If you have a history of use, you may pick up exactly where you last left off. 



• On the Frontispiece you will see three major user buttons:

  1. The type-of-presentation of content -- Outline, Notes, or the defaulted Full Text,

  2. The user-mode button which presently shows the system is in its Browse mode and

  3. The topical navigation button showing Psychology.

  In addition, there is a Help/Quit listing (in the upper right corner).  If you are logging in after a previous session, you will also see a "Go Recent" button with an arrow, beneath the "Psychology" navigation button in the lower right corner, which allows you to go directly to the topic you were last studying.




The alternative "User Mode" services offered by the User Mode button include:

• Browse - The system lets you merely read and view pictures with no tutorial services or help.
• Tutor - An artificially intelligent adaptive instructional tutoring service makes sure you are always asked questions that you haven't been asked, have missed in the past, or that you may need more practice on to be sure of your knowledge.
• Assess - This service allows you to self-test on each topic specifically, with any number of questions of any type that you wish to select.  You may Assess yourself as often as you like.  Remember, the questions all come from the current topic you see in the Open Page viewer.
• Certification - Your knowledge of material from each Chapter of the text may be tested independently and the results saved to a file on your Personal floppy disk for printing the questions/answers and results.  There is also a coded file saved automatically that records your results.  This file may be used by your instructor to measure progress and assign grade equivalents. 


 

NOTE:  As illustrated, both the Psychology navigation button and the User Mode button also appear on each "Open Page" screen for accessing or changing these services from any topic:
