How this exercise works

Annotated exercises enable you to consult additional material and explanations for particular points easily. The 'exercise' is not evaluated, that is, you are not required to input answers that are then evaluated.

This exercise type is often used to help learners to work through and understand dense or complicated material. It is also used to present questions to learners and then allow them to compare their own narrative answers with the answer given in the annotation.

This exercise contains a number of marked sections known as 'gaps'. These gaps may be part of a text or even located on an image. Choosing a gap displays a panel containing the explanatory material.

You can select gaps and display annotations using the mouse or the keyboard.

Using the mouse

• Click on a gap to select the gap and display the annotation for that gap. The selected gap is marked in yellow and the annotation is displayed in a panel near the gap.
  
  
• Clicking on the gap or outside a gap will close the annotation. Clicking on a different gap will close the current annotation and select the new gap and open its annotation.

Using the keyboard

In this exercise you can select gaps and display annotations using the keyboard.

• You can see a list of the keys that are available and their functions in the control panel.
• Some keys enable you to move from gap to gap in the exercise. The currently selected gap is marked in yellow.
• Other keys open and close the annotation for the currently selected gap.
