Web Simulation from Course Assignment

To complete a simulation as part of a Course Assignment, the first step will be to log into your Learner account at this link.

Use the left sidebar to select the "Courses" tab.

In the list of courses you have access to, click the "View" button on the course that owns your assignment. There will often be a blue label telling you how many assignments are available to submit in that course.

In the list of assignments find the assignment you wish to complete, then at the far right of the assignment click on the button that looks like a folder to open the assignment.

This will bring you to the Assignment page. Near the bottom right is a text box that tells you how many attempts you have remaining. Click on the "Start Assignment" button at the bottom.

You can review basic details about the simulation environment, AI persona, and Trainee Role in the tabs. Once you are done, click on the green button labeled "Start Assignment".

Before you can start the assignment, the webpage will ask that you check if your microphone is working properly. Click on the purple "Start Recording" button to begin recording. A pop-up may appear asking for permission to use your microphone. Make sure to select the correct microphone and click "Allow" in the pop-up window. Briefly say something then click "Stop Recording", and then click on the "Play Test".

Once you are finished testing your microphone, click on the "Proceed" button in the bottom right corner of the window.

Wait for the avatar to load, then click on the "Start Simulation" button at the bottom of the screen

Go through the simulation, and then once you are done click on the "Stop Simulation" button. This will automatically upload your files and then open up a window where you can review your submission.

You can add a message alongside your submission if you wish to give your teacher extra context about your performance. Click the "Edit Message" button.

After typing in your message into the "Submission Message" box, click on the "Save Changes" button.

To review a transcript and play back a recording of the AI conversation, click on the "Transcript" tab at the top of the window

After closing the window, you'll see that the assignment page has added your submission attempt alongside whatever message you wrote. This submission will tell you whether it has been reviewed by the Course Admin yet in the top right, and if you wish to review the transcript and video again you can click on the "Review Submission" button.

If the assignment allows multiple submissions, then you can click on the "Retry Assignment" button underneath the "Review Submission" button to try again. However, be advised that this will delete your old submission. You only get one submission that can be reviewed per assignment.
