Common Commands and Quitting the A+LS Program
You have two choices that appear on almost every Preview Lesson screen:
? - Help, found in the upper left on the toolbar. The help screens are designed to support first time users across a broad range of ages.
X - Exit, also in the upper left on the toolbar. This command lets you quit from the lesson preview the correct way. Selecting X takes you back to the A+LS management sytem.
Hint - You should NOT close your browser while you are in the middle of the A+LS screens because this will leave your log-on name still connected to the A+LS server. It is better to Log Off after you have finished an activity and not in the middle of one.
Hint - If you move to a page that is all white, it is probably just a minor Internet problem.
1. Point your cursor to the middle of the white area, then right click the mouse (Macintosh single button mice use [Control] click).
• A pop-up menu will open.
2. Select Back from the pop-up menu.
This will take you back to the previous page. Now you can redo what you were trying when you got the white page.
WARNING: Never choose Refresh or on Windows computers tap the [F5] key, they will log you off of the A+LS system.
