INSTRUCTIONS - PART I

  1. Register

  2. Start with a blank, formatted diskette (available in the lab).
    3. Place it in the A: drive on your computer.
  3. Click here to execute a file called LOTT.EXE. When prompted, check Run this program from its current location. You may get a warning message that "The publisher could not be determined .." Ignore this (i.e., click YES to continue). This will create two folders, one called MINICOURSE and one called TUTORIAL on your diskette. The TUTORIAL folder will contain a folder called images. The MINICOURSE folder will contain a folder called MYHALLOWEEN.

    HINT: To see your A: drive, hold down the Windows key (between CTRL and ALT on the lower left-hand side of your keyboard) and press "E". This will bring up Windows explorer. If you save a file instead of executing it from its current location, go directly to the A: drive and double click on it to execute it.
  4. Click on the pumpkins in the Virtual Pumpkin Patch to the right..


  5. If all you see is a silly image, try another pumpkin.

  6. If you see a page that says "you have found a piece of the tutorial", "you have found a learning object" or "you have found the manifest file", follow the instructions carefully. Five pieces of the tutorial (.html files) will be saved in the TUTORIAL folder. Two learning objects and one manifest (an xml file) will be saved in the MINICOURSE folder. Do not do anything other than save the files at this time.

When you are done, your diskette should contain exactly the following file structure (see hint in step 2 to check it out). SCO1, SCO2, and MYHALLOWEEN are learning objects. Everything else in the MINICOURSE folder are associated resources used by these objects.
