Locating and Launching CONNECTed Training Content

 

The CONNECTed player is the central area from which you can find and view training content in the form of conceptual information and transactional simulations, with links to other information such as Job Aids, Student Guides, Business Process Maps, and so on. The simulations can be launched in several different modes so you can choose the playback styles that best meet your needs. The last section at the bottom of this page (Play Mode Toolbar) provides a description of each mode that is available from the player.

 

CONNECTed Player Interface Overview

 

 

The Outline Pane (above) displays the training content on the left side of the player. The outline displays concepts, sections and topics. Sections (purple book icons) organize training topics into logical groupings. Topics (listed within the sections) represent the training simulations you will launch and navigate through to learn the material. There are several methods available to help you find the appropriate content as follows:

  1. Navigation Controls (arrows) allow you to navigate up and down the outline. As you use these buttons to navigate, the outline expands as necessary to display the next document or documents depending on the document type. You can also navigate the outline by clicking on the plus (+) sign next to the desired section (book icon) to view all related topics.
                                                  
                                    
                                                  
  2. My Roles allows you to personalize the content outline to show only those topics that apply to a specific role. Click the My Roles link to select the desired role and filter the content.
                                                  
                                    
                                                  
  3. The Search textbox allows you to locate content quickly instead of navigating the outline. The player performs a full-text search, including any predefined keywords, to locate all content with the indicated word. Click the magnifying glass icon to search and the icon to delete the keyword.
                                                  
                                   

The Concept Pane (to the right of the outline) displays the conceptual information about the document that is selected in the outline.

 

 

 

Some topics are informational only   which means the simuation modes are not available. You simply read the information displayed in the Concept pane. The other topics that are demonstrated/simulated utilize the play mode toolbar. The Play Mode Toolbar appears above the concept pane when a topic is selected in the outline.


 

  • See It! mode enables you to learn about the selected topic by displaying an animated demonstration of a task being completed.
  • Try It! mode allows you to perform the selected task in a simulated environment.
  • Know It! mode tests your ability to perform the selected task in a simulated environment.
  • Do It! mode guides you as you perform the selected task in the live application.
  • Print It! mode allows you to display an HTML job aid.

Navigating Through the Content

When you click the desired mode from the Play Mode Toolbar, the simulation opens in your browser.

 

When using "See It", the simulation will automatically begin and transition to the next step every 5 seconds. If you need additional time on a step, you can pause the simulation by clicking the Pause link in the yellow bubble. Once you pause, click Resume to continue the simulation.

 

          

 

When using "Try It", you must complete the instructions in the bubble before the simulation will advance to the next step. You might be asked to click the "Start" link, click a button, enter data into a field, or click the "Continue" link in order to complete the step and move to the next one.

 

         

 

To navigate between screens in the topic, use the Actions menu within the information bubbles. The options are:

Next Step, Previous Step, Restart Playback, Display Concept, Print it!, Preferences, Help, Close Topic

 

 

Glossary of Terms

The player contains a built in Glossary that identifies words within the content and will link those words to their definition. Those words are displayed in blue and are underlined throughout the training content.
