Authoring Tool User Manual
This is due to the fact that Services and Learning Objects are inner concepts of the Environments,
but the tool organizes the Services and the Learning Objects separately from the Environments to
make the Environment’s interface simpler.
According to this fact, when the user is leaving the Environments menu, the Authoring Tool
launches an alert message to the user. The process is described in the below pictures.
In the following sections we will explain the content of the second section of the Services form. This section
is different according to the choice made by the user in the “Type Of Service” field.
