Hi, my name is Beth Casebolt and I am the UU Leadership Institute web weaver and tech support person and I'm going to show you how to take a training on our site. Okay so the very first thing you need to do when you come to the UU Institute website if you haven't been auto logged, in is come up here to the top to the big red button where it says login register and click that. Put in your username and password and click login. Once you're logged in, you're going to want to come up here to the my account menu, the big blue button, and come down to the my trainings option. And here you're going to see all the trainings you're currently registered in. So you're going to see the image, it's going to give the title and then it's going to show you whether or not it's complete. This one says it's a hundred percent, these say it's zero percent. So you can tell whether or not what your status is. So let's take a look at this Revitalizing the Smaller Congregation. So when you come to the class, you're going to see a couple things. There's a bar here across the top, it says zero percent complete and there are 11 steps to this training. This is the general information you saw when you signed up for the course, with the video introduction and the presenter information, and here's all the modules again that we saw before. You can expand them all or you can leave them all collapsed and just expand each one. Now one thing you need to know about the majority of classes on this website is you must take everything in order, you can't come in and look at, oh wait I want to do module 4 because it's about small church operations, I'm not as interested in one, two and three. You can't do four until you do one, two and three. So you need to do them in order. There's a couple of classes, mostly resource sets, that you can skip around to anything, but for the most part everything has to be done in order. So let's start our class. Let's click on module one. This is just, you'll notice now that all the information is down the left side so I can just move around the class on the left side. So I'm going to come in here it says I'm in progress now. These are my learning goals, this is my presentation, here's a video, here's the second video, here's the third video, there's a reading assignment. So I need to do all these things, unless it says optional you need to do all of them. So I'm going to watch this video and then I'm going to watch this video and I'm going to watch this video and then I'm going to do this. And then there's discussion questions. Now there's two ways to manage discussion questions. If you are taking this course on your own and no one else in your congregation is taking it, you'll want to answer the discussion questions in your comments. So you'll click this post a comment, which will open a box and you can type in here and post your comment. If other people have posted comments they will appear down here as well and you can read other people's comments. I will tell you right at the moment clicking reply on comments does not work, it won't do anything, we're trying to fix that glitch, we think it's a software problem and we're trying to get that resolved. So if you want to reply to somebody just leave a comment and put their name at the beginning, but you can post a comment, type your comment, click post comment, and your comments will go through. If you're doing this with a team from your church, you may want to take these questions to a team meeting and have a conversation amongst the members of your team. So I've done this first item and now I'm down here in module content. This one doesn't have any topics, sometimes there's a topic in addition and I'll show you, there's one in module two, so this one just has a quiz. So I click the quiz, I start the quiz and it's going to ask me questions and when you're finished it will, it'll calculate your results and give you your score. You must score at least 50 percent to move on. So if you scored less than that you're going to want to restart your quiz. And then you click here to continue and it's going to automatically take me on to module 2. Now if you look over here on the left there's now all of a sudden a green check mark next to module 1. And if I click this there's now a green box next to the quiz whereas down here in module 2 there's a open dot and an open box. So that's how you know you've completed something, is that green check mark. So now you're going to do the same thing here, you're going to do your learning goals, you're going to read your presentations, you're going to watch your videos,

and then you're going to get down here. This one has a topic so you're going to go to the topic, you're going to do the reading here and the clip from this topic, and then the topics are special, you have to click this green mark complete button. So you're going to click that and now it's going to bring me back here to module 2, where I scroll back down to the bottom or I go over here to the left and I click the click the quiz and I can start this quiz. So let's see what this looks like on the main page. If you just click up here in the title, it's going to take me back to the main page. I now am 18% complete, so that's cool. It also tells me when my last activity was and if I go down here I'm going to see that module 1 is checked off, the quiz is done, module 2 is part way done because I haven't done the quiz yet, it's 50% done. That's checked off. So that's how you know. If you think you've gone further through, let's say I thought I'd done this and it wasn't checked off, you then go to that page and you click that mark complete button that we looked at a minute ago. But let's say I I think I'm done with module two, so I go on to module three. The system will not let you do that. It's going to tell me to go back and complete the previous quiz and give me a back button that's going to take me back to the quiz. Okay so that's how you take a course, and that's how you navigate a course. Now if you're working on this and you think you've gotten through everything and you think you've clicked all those mark complete buttons and you can't advance like you thought you should, come up here to the help menu and come down to contact or go over here to this little support button, if you go to the support button you can submit a help ticket, just submit a ticket and it will give us all the, ask for the information we need to help you with your issue, or you can come up here to the help menu you can submit a support ticket here, or if you come down to contact

you can also complete this form and submit it that way. And doing that allows us to go into the back and we can check on some things to see what the problem actually is, what's not registering. So that's helpful. Now if you go back to my trainings, you'll now see that this course is 18% complete, so it tells you, it keeps track it tells you. So if you come back to the my account page and you scroll down here you now see all the courses I'm taking, this one's in progress, these I haven't started and this one says complete, and you'll notice this little square here. If I click on that square it's going to bring up my certificate that shows that I've completed the course and the date I completed the course and signed by the dean of the of this school. You can always access it there, you can also go back to the main page of any class that you've completed and you'll see it says you've earned a certificate and you can download that same certificate here as long as the class is still on the website. You can always download the certificate you can also always go back and look at any of the materials at any point in time on any class. And that's how to take a class on the UU Leadership Institute website. Do contact us if you run into any problems or there's anything that seems unusual to you, thanks.
