FAQ

Please check this list of frequently asked questions before contacting Thinking Strings Support.

Where do I find my Revealing serial number?

You can save the Interactive Explorations application to each computer or you can store it on an external drive that you move from computer to computer. You use your same account to sign in on all of your computers.

What is my Achievement Profile?

When you sign-in to Interactive Explorations and open your courseware, you will see your Achievement Profile. The Achievement Profile has three primary functions. It is your table of contents. It allows you to navigate to your courseware content. It shows you what you have completed through a system of gold stars.

I’m on my Achievement Profile, how do I open a section?

Your Achievement Profile has three columns. The first (left) column lists the modules of your Revealing courseware (these are like chapters in a textbook). The second (middle) column lists the sections of each module. The third (right) column lists the concepts covered in the section. Single-click a module title to display its sections in the second column. To see the concepts included in any section, single-click the section title in the second column. To navigate to the beginning of a section, double-click the section title (second column). To navigate to the beginning of a concept, double-click the concept title (third column).

How do I go back to my Achievement Profile from a section?

From any page in your Revealing courseware, click the star in the lower left corner to return to your Achievement Profile.

How is my progress tracked on my Achievement Profile?

As you work with Revealing courseware, your progress is tracked automatically and reported to the Interactive Grade Book. The star at the lower left of every page is white before you begin; once you have completed all of the work on a page the star at lower left becomes gold. When you have completed all of the work concerning a particular concept, section, or module, you earn a gold star on your Achievement Profile for that item. Place your cursor over any gold star on your Achievement Profile to view the date on which you completed that item. That same date will appear in the Interactive Grade Book.

I’m missing a gold star on my Achievement Profile.

A gold star will be displayed next to each entry on your Achievement Profile when you have completed the work for that item. The gold stars are cumulative: you will have a star in the second column when you have completed all the work in the underlying third column. Once you have stars for every section in the second column, you will receive a star for the entire module (that is, items in the left column of your Achievement Profile). Rolling over a star shows you the date of completion. When you complete an individual “page” of content, the star in the lower left of the window will turn gold.

To complete a particular concept (the third column in your Achievement Profile) for which you do not have a gold star, please double-click the entry on your Achievement Profile. This will take you to the first page of that concept. Many concepts have multiple pages/screens. Click the right arrow button or use the right arrow key on your keyboard to move forward one page at a time. Be sure you have a gold star at the lower left corner on every page; if you don’t have a gold star on a particular page, complete the work on that page. Please note that many of the “Try It” pages have more than one correct response. You must exhaust all the correct responses to receive a gold star on that page.

Why don’t I have a gold star on a page of reading or a Try It activity?

A Try It page is marked as complete when you have completed all of the correct responses on the page. An essay or a journal entry is marked as complete when you have typed a text response and clicked the Save button. To receive credit for reading text pages, you must spend a minimum number of seconds on the page (the exact time varies by product). If you find you can read a page in under the allotted time, you can use the extra seconds to learn a bit more by exploring additional materials. For example, right-click on the background to clear the page text, see the image, and learn the additional information included in the image caption; answer some review questions (click the “notepad & pencil” button at lower right to open the Assistance Palette and go to the Review tab); or on many pages (this varies by product), click the Listen and/or Read button available at lower right to access additional material.

What do the buttons on the bottom control bar do?

The control bar at the bottom of the Interactive Explorations window holds buttons and one slider knob for navigation, and buttons for audio control, the Assistance Palette, the Achievement Profile, replay page, bookmark, printing and copying pages, support, and quitting Interactive Explorations, as well as a navigation menu.

How do I move between pages in a section?

Use the Previous Page (left arrow) and Next Page (right arrow) buttons to move backward and forward through the pages of the current section one page at a time.
Use the Page Slider Knob to quickly move to a particular page within the section in which you are working. Click on the Slider Track (the horizontal line itself) to jump to a different page in the section in which you are working.
Click the Replay Page button (curved arrow) to restart the current page, including the narration, if there is any for that page.

How do I open the Assistance Palette?

To open the Assistance Palette, which contains a variety of resources such as the glossary and review, as well as your bookmarks and highlights, click the Assistance Palette button (notepad & pencil) at the right of the control bar. Detailed information about the Assistance Palette is provided in the Assistance Palette FAQs.

Can I print or copy the pages of my Revealing courseware?

To print the title and text of any screen, click the Print Page button (sheets of paper) at the right of the control bar. You can also copy the text of any page for pasting into an application of your choice, such as a word processor or text file. To copy the title and text of any screen to your computer’s clipboard, shift-click the Print/Copy Page button (sheets of paper) at the right of the control bar. Open the file (for example, a Word document or a text file) into which you want to paste the text that has been copied to the clipboard. Then paste the text where you wish using the appropriate commands from the application in which you opened your file or your computer’s operating system (usually Ctrl/Command V).

Can I navigate between sections without returning to my Achievement Profile?

Click the Menu button (left arrow in a circle) at the left of the control bar to move between modules and sections by selecting from pop-up menus.

How do I return to my Achievement Profile?

To go to your Achievement Profile, click the Achievement Profile button (star) at the left of the control bar.

What are all the ways I can navigate from place to place within my courseware?

You can navigate through your Revealing courseware in several ways. You can jump to sections or concepts of your choice from the Achievement Profile or from the various tabs in the Assistance Palette (for example, Recent Pages, Search, Bookmarks, or Highlights). To move around within a section, use the previous and next page buttons and the page slider control on the control bar at the bottom of your display. To move between sections or modules from any page, click the Menu button (up arrow) at the bottom left of the screen and make your selections through the pop-up menus.

How do I earn gold stars on my Achievement Profile?

You receive a “completed” star next to each entry on your Achievement Profile when you have completed the work for that item. Place your cursor over the gold star to see the date of completion. Gold stars on your Achievement Profile are cumulative: You will have a star for a section title in the second column when you have completed all the work in the underlying third column of concepts. Once you have stars for every section in the second column, you will receive a star for the entire module (that is, items in the left column of your Achievement Profile).

I’m missing a gold star on my Achievement Profile, what do I do?

To complete a particular section (second column) or concept (third column) for which you do not have a gold star, double-click the entry on your Achievement Profile. This will take you to the FIRST page of that section or topic. Most concepts have multiple pages/screens. To find any incomplete pages, click the right arrow button or use the right arrow key on your keyboard to move forward one page at a time. Be sure you have a gold star at the lower left corner on every page; if you don’t have a gold star on a particular page, complete the work on that page.

How do I earn gold stars on individual pages of my courseware?

When you complete an individual “page,” the star at the lower left will turn gold. For text/reading pages, you need to spend a certain number of seconds (the amount varies by product) on the page. Your star will not turn gold until you move to a different page. If you return to a page you have read, the star at lower left will be gold. If you find you can read a page in fewer than the required seconds, you can use the extra seconds to learn more. For example, right-click the background to clear the page text, see the image, and learn the additional information included in the image caption; answer some review questions (click the “notebook & pencil” button at lower right to open the Assistance Palette and go to the Review tab); or (in some products) click the Listen and/or Read button available at lower right to access additional material.

Many of the “Try It” pages have more than one correct response. You must exhaust all the correct responses to complete the activity and receive a gold star on that page.

I’m missing a gold star, what do I do?

If you are having trouble receiving a gold star after following the instructions above, please contact Thinking Strings Support. Be sure to let us know the exact title of the entry in the third column of your Achievement Profile for which you are having trouble receiving a gold star so we can provide specific instructions.

Please include your full name, the title of the product you are using, and a very detailed description of the situation you are experiencing. For virtually all situations, we will reply to your support request within 24 hours on business days.

If you like, include this information with your initial support request so we can call you if necessary.

If by phone, the call will come from a number that is blocked or unknown on caller ID.

Click the checkbox at lower left to turn on the Support Log. This will create a file called TSEngine.log on your Desktop. Do whatever it is that causes the error message.
