\section*{Introduction}
Helpscreens like this one will be available a certain points across the system.
You can recognize them by the blue question mark symbol.
After you log into LON-CAPA, you will see a list of roles which you currently
have in the system.
You will also see a little window on the site, which is the so-called Remote
Control. A good arrangement of the windows will be to have both the
Remote Control and the content window available next to each other. To get
a description of the shorthand buttons on the Remote Control, you can press
the blue ``Extended Display'' button.
You probably want to select a certain role, for example that of being a student
in a certain course.
\section*{Navigating a Course}
You can move forward and backward in the content with the respective buttons
in the Remote Control (the small extra window that comes up).
You can press the NAV (``Navigate Content'') button to quickly move to a page
in the course.
\section*{Homework}
Your course might offer online homework. You can identify homework by the
colorful symbols (yellow - available; green - solved; red - past due) in the
NAV screen. You might have
more than one try to solve a homework problem, and the system
stores all attempts.
As you solve a problem, the computer will give you a receipt number.
Please write down this number in your records, it is your proof that you have
solved the homework.
\section*{Communication}
LON-CAPA has built-in communication support. You can send messages regarding
the course content using the FDBK (``Feedback'') button in the Remote Control.
You can choose different categories of feedback, including a contribution to
the course discussion.
Normal feedback gets routed to the TAs and course faculty.
Course discussions are page-specific bulletin boards and come up right under
the page that you are viewing. You can choose to post anonymously, in which
case only the course faculty can see your name.
To send internal email, or look at replies to your feedback, use the COM
(``Communication'') button.
Please use the built-in communication rather than normal email, since it
automatically provides context for your questions and concerns.
