Get to the Pathology Education server
by typing in http://education.montepath.com and press enter.
The options that appear in the figure above display including a link to Red
Moodle.
Click on Red Moodle (Experimental) to see the Moodle HomePage screen.
Note: You should use Internet Explorer and not Netscape or any other browser
to run Moodle.
Login to Moodle
Click on Login in the upper right
hand corner of screen to display the Login page
Enter your username and password
and then click on the 'Login' button.
Notice below username and password there is a button containg text which reads
'Send my details via email' . If you forget your username or password click
on this button
and follow instructions that will be sent to your email address.
If your username and password are accepted then the Homepage will once again display however this time your name will appear in the right top hand corner.
Click on one of the available choices
which appear under the courses heading to select your course category.
Click on cytology to select it
.
Cytology course page displays with
the curriculum appearing in the first topic block followed by
the Cytology quiz in the second topic block.
Use the Navigation bar in Moodle
to navigate the site. For example if you wished to return to Moodle home page
from the current Anatomic Pathology courses page you could click on Path Ed.
Using the back and forward arrows of Internet Explorer to navigate Moodle often
produces error
messages to appear therefore use the moodle navigation bar instead.
Click on the quiz link to select
it. Note the red checked box that is displayed before the quiz name.
Click on the blue quiz name and not the red checked box.
As a general rule never double
click in Internet explorer. If there is no response after 15 seconds you can
click again.
An established paradigm is to display the curriculum in Topic 0 (the 0 does
not show) and the quiz in Topic 1.
Click on 'Attempt quiz now' button
to take the quiz . A webpage should display with all your quiz questions, and
images if applicable.
Click once with your mouse in the circle next to the answer of your choice.
Click on 'Save my answers' to proceed with reviewing your etest.
Note: If you wish to review your etest at least one answer has to be selected.
Click on OK to continue
