When you enter a Dawn catalog entry, you see high-quality video and a video transcript that highlights the relevant text as the entry plays.

The best way to familiarize yourself with the Dawn Learning Experience is to jump in and take a catalog entry, but here's a quick rundown of your menus and tools:

1. The Table of Contents is collapsed by default. You can open the TOC at any time to:
   • Review your progress.
   • Jump to another place in the entry.
   • Review materials.
2. Dawn gives you a quick tour the first time you use it, and you can always revisit that tour by clicking the Help button.
3. Click Ask a coach to get help from expert coaches (where enabled).
4. Your Feed is available from everywhere in the app. Collaboration, social engagement, and group knowledge building is a key component of the Dawn Learning Experience.
5. Arrows along the the video progress bar indicate interactions. When the video reaches them, it pauses, so you can answer a question, make a comment, review supplemental material, and/or interact with peers, cohorts, and coaches.

6. After you complete an interaction, click Continue to move forward.

If enabled, learners have a screen dedicated to managing all of their Coaching needs! At the top of the Table of contents right under the Performance information, learners can click Coaching to:

• Open their Coaching feed where they can post a question for experts and review the answers.

• Open the Events screen to schedule a coaching session and review info for sessions that are already scheduled.

The Group screen shows all group activity and upcoming live events.  Open it by clicking Group in the table of contents or clicking the Group icon in the toolbar.

You can filter a catalog entry to show activity from a specific group only with the group filter in the toolbar, or the filters on the Group screen.

When you have a group selected, the Members tab appears, so you can see who else is a part of your different Groups. This give you opportunities to connect with other members of your learning community.

If anyone in the catalog entry's selected group has submitted a Project to the Gallery, a Gallery tab appears where those projects can be reviewed.

You may receive Newsletters periodically as part of your enrollment. These come as emails and remain in the Newsletter screen. Be sure to check out these communications, as they're a great way to stay connected.

Some catalog entries will ask you to complete a project as part of showing that you mastered a subject. To complete a project:

1. Read the project's:
   • Instructions to make sure you understand what is expected
   • Review criteria to make sure you understand how success will be evaluated.
2. Click Continue.

3. Upload the project file and add any additional Comments to provide context.
4. Self-report your Effort as the time you spent on the project.
5. Indicate if you want to share your project to the Gallery for peers to see and review (in the Gallery or in their feed).
6. Submit and Continue to see projects your peers have submitted to the Gallery.

Dawn uses mastery-based learning as a core part of the user experience! 

Your progress is tracked in two ways:

1. Mastery awards that you learn on completing key interactions and instructional items in a catalog entry.
2. Effort, which measures actual time spent (watching videos and completing interactions) plus self-reported time spent completing projects against the amount of time authors anticipate learners need to spend to obtain mastery. 

Mastery and Effort (Time spent in minutes) are tracked to reward and reinforce learning. You can see your overall progress for each enrollment on the My enrollments screen.  Click View progress for more details.

When you click View progress from the My enrollments screen, you see an overview of the catalog entry's content and interactions and your progress in terms of:

1. Status (Not started, In progres, Completed)
2. Mastery (awarded/possible)
3. Time spent (actual/expected)
4. Completed interactions

Click any row to get more information on each.

In each catalog entry's Table of Contents, you can see your Mastery and Effort (Time spent) progress for each Lesson section in addition to your overall progress for the enrollment.

When you complete some catalog entries, you earn a completion certificate that you can download and share. Completion certificates are displayed upon completing the course; you can also go back and access the certificate later.

To access completion certificates:

1. Open the My enrollments screen and scroll to the Completed card.
2. Click View certificate. On narrow screens and phones, this is shown as a graduation cap icon.

3. To share, click share icon in the corner and choose how you want to share it:
   • Copy link to copy and paste the URL.
   • Share via email.
   • Share on Facebook.
   • Share on Twitter.
   • Share on LinkedIn.

4. To download, click the download icon and choose to Download as image or Download as QR coded (making it easy to share downloadable access with others).
