This training program is made up of five
modules, listed in the left-hand navigation bar. The modules
are made of of lessons, individual
screens presented in related topics. The course is a step-by-step
explanation of ecological risk assessment. There is also a short
introduction to ecological risk assessment.
Below are listed the topics addressed on this help page.
How do I navigate...
To go through the training in order, use the Back
and Next buttons at the bottom
of each screen.
You'll notice green and white clickable
icons to activities on most of the pages. These icons are
all linked to text and audio explanations, activities, and graphics
that help you understand ecological risk assessment more fully.
Make sure to take advantage by clicking on all the icons as you
go through the page!
Audio explanations pop
up in new windows. Make sure to close
the window after you're through with it, or you might not
be able to find it the next time you click an audio button.
The site map
may be another useful tool for getting a sense of where you
are and where you want to go. It is an outline of all the screens,
to give you a sense of the structure of this training. Each screen
title is linked to that screen, so the site map is also a handy
way to navigate the site. You can always get to the site map by
clicking on the link at the bottom of the yellow content box. On
every page, it is to the right of the options listed under the "back/top/next"
page-by-page navigation.
Speaking of page-by-page navigation
-- you guessed it! To move through the site chronologically,
the back and next links at the bottom of each page bring you through
each sequence in a logical fashion. When you click an icon, you
will be able to return to the page you clicked it from by clicking
the text Back link at the bottom of the page. Then you can use the
Next link to move to the next screen in the training. These links
are assigned to bring you to certain pages, so they work a bit differently
than your Back and Forward buttons in the browser toolbar. Your
browser brings you to screens in the order in which you've viewed
them, not necessarily in the order of the course.
You can always return to this page by clicking the Help
link that's between Glossary and Site map in the second row
of text navigation links below. If you don't find the answer to
your question here, please use the Contact
Us link at the very bottom left-hand corner of the page.
We want to hear about your experience of the site, and look forward
to any questions or suggestions you may have for us!
Most text links are references
to other parts of the course. They navigate out of sequence and
clicking on them is always purely optional. Links off the course
site are clearly indicated and the URL is provided.
...for a quick review?
In addition to the short introduction
to ecological risk assessment, all wrap-up
lessons contain the collected
graphical and text-format process
flows for that module. And, if the site map's table
of contents isn't enough, use the text
links at the beginning of each module or lesson to get to
the main ideas in that unit.

I need 508 accessibility features...
This site provides a text explanation
of any graphic flow chart or illustration, usually through
a "text-only alternative" link just above the image. The
text only alternative links back to the page you reached it from.
In addition, an HTML text version
is provided for any dynamic activity. You'll notice that
in addition to the clickable icons you use to access activities
and further explanations, there is a link provided to a "text-only
version" if the page the icon leads to has additional features.
Any content provided in the additional features is described in
the text-only version. Use a screen reader, skip the mouse if you
like: all learners should be able to easily access all of the information
on this ecological risk assessment training site.
What if I still have questions?
