## Finding & Understanding Your Assignments

Whether you are opening an activity for the first time or checking feedback after submission, the EdEHR “Dashboard → Course → Activity” path keeps everything in one place.

### 1. Dashboard → Courses

From the dashboard, select Courses. You will recall you will see all courses you have accessed via your LMS.

Click **Courses** in the left navigation (or the course tile itself) to see all your courses.

### 4 Skills-Assessment (Timed) Mode

During scheduled evaluations your instructor may lock down the chart. When you attempt to open a restricted activity you will see a red **Skills Assessment** warning:

Click **OK**, then select an activity highlighted in green—those are the ones you are allowed to enter during the assessment period.

#### What’s next?

Move on to **Navigating the EdEHR Interface** to learn where everything lives inside the patient chart.
