    Technical Questions and Answers about Compass Learning

    Q: May I maximize Odyssey screens?

    A:  You can maximize or resize all Odyssey screens. CompassLearning recommends that you leave the screens at their default and original size.

    Q: My pop ‐up blocker is preventing Odyssey from opening windows.

    A:  Disable any third‐party pop‐up blocker installed on a workstation. The pop‐up blocker in Windows XP SP2 must also be disabled. Odyssey requires the capability to have at least two browser windows open simultaneously.

    Q: May I use keyboard shortcuts?

    A: When you are using Odyssey, avoid browser keyboard shortcuts, such as F11, F3 (find), and F5 (refresh). Use the Odyssey navigation buttons instead of the function keys (keys across the top of the keyboard). One exception to this is using the F8 function key for displaying closed captions in some Language Arts 3 ‐8 activities (see below).

    Q: Does Odyssey offer closed captions?

    A: Yes, for Odyssey Language Arts 3‐8 activities in these chapters:

    Vocabulary Skills

    Process Skills: Think Alouds

    Comprehension

    State Simulation Assessments

    To display closed captions for these activities, students may press the F8 function key.

    Q: May I use the Delete key?

    A: When you are using Odyssey, do not press the Delete key. Instead, use Odysseys back buttons.

    Q: Does Odyssey use right ‐click or Control‐click shortcuts?

    A: When you are using Odyssey, do not use right‐click (Windows) or Control‐click (Mac) shortcuts. Use Odysseys buttons and menu items instead.
