The activities

We've organised a number of activities in each unit to help you develop the skills and knowledge you need. Most activities focus on a particular task, such as taking a water sample, or observing the behaviour of stock in the ponds. When you're doing an activity, you will see a screen like this:

Getting around in an activity You make your way through the activity by using the previous and continue buttons.
Sometimes, you need to complete an exercise in the activity successfully before you can continue to the next screen. In this case, the continue button will appear faded out and you will need to complete the exercise successfully before the continue button becomes active.

The buttons at the top of the activity screen can take you to the Homestead, to check your study plan, or to access e-mail or the message board.

You can even leave the activity by clicking on the Exit button at the top. This will take you back to the screen showing the map of the farm.

Finally, a progress meter shows you how far you've progressed into an activity. In this example, the user is 2 screens into an activity with 10 screens.

Note: The buttons shown here are for pond activities. The buttons for shed activities look different, but work in exactly the same way.
