		Getting Started Can't wait to get started? Good! This module is designed to make it easy for you to get started and to access any element quickly. In order to do this though, you need to know a little bit about how this module is structured.

		Think of this module as having four levels. The first level, where you are now, is called Orientation. This is where you will find help files and other elements that assist you in understanding what this module is about and how it works.

		The second level is called Support. The Support level gives you quick access to some useful supporting materials that appear separately in the Lesson Level.

		The third level is the Lesson level. This is where you will find the main instructional components of this module.

		The fourth level is the Review level. This level is where you will find summative practice and evaluation components, in some ways like a final project and/or a final exam.

		Navigation There are three methods of navigating this module. The most apparent is by use of the tabs at the top of each main page. Clicking on each of these tabs takes you to a level directory page where you can select any of the items in that level.

		Notice the tab labeled Contents. Selecting this tab provides you a menu page that has a link to each main page in the entire module. Notice each of the four levels, Orientation, Support, Lessons, and Review are there. Under each of the levels you should see each component of the module. Select any location to go there. You might also notice the tab labeled Home which returns you to the entry page for the entire module.

		The third navigation system built into this module is a linear path that starts at the first element of the Orientation level (Introduction) and goes sequentially through every page in that level before linking you to the first page in the Support level (All Resources), and all subsequent pages in all levels of the module. To use this navigation system you just click on the forward or back arrows located at the top right and bottom right of every main page.

		You are ready to get started! Just select one of the navigation systems to find the orientation level and begin with the Introduction. If you need more information about using this module consult the Help section.
