TRACS Tour


The TRACS Tour Learning Module is designed for you to implement in your site so students can become familiar with the different tasks you may ask them to do in your course.

The TRACS Tour Learning Module shows students how to check their grades, submit assessments, view course resources, submit online assignments, and other tasks through the use of videos.

Once the students in your course have viewed the module you may remove it from your course's site.

We have also provided an 10 question assessment worth 10 points that you can import into your site as well to verify if students have seen the videos and understand what the tools in TRACS sites do.
