# Using Breakroom for Training

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/Opl3PJuSK4U?feature=shared>" %}

## Overview

The Breakroom for Training system is designed to support online learning through the streamlined management of educational content. [World Owners](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/creating-and-managing-user-accounts/world-level-user-permissions#owner) and other stakeholders can create student- or Instructor-led courses consisting of structured learning modules, waivers, and quizzes, and integrate these touchpoints into live online instruction.&#x20;

This section will show you how to access the Breakroom for Training tools as a student. For more information about [creating](https://docs.breakroom.tech/breakroom-for-training/creating-and-managing-courses) Breakroom for Training courses or administering courses as an [Instructor](https://docs.breakroom.tech/breakroom-for-training/instructor-orientation), please see our dedicated [Breakroom for Training section](https://docs.breakroom.tech/breakroom-for-training).

## Logging in

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FUUx8vA00km4PNNtZ2Pfm%2FLMS_001.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=fe463284-c842-4adc-bad9-b0a4a5cca9c7" alt=""><figcaption><p>Highlighted: The location of the Breakroom for Training widget.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

When you enter a [Region](https://docs.breakroom.tech/helpful-terms#region) that contains the Breakroom for Training system, you'll see the Breakroom for Training widget appear automatically on your screen. This widget can be dragged around the screen by clicking and holding the **center button**.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2F8aPcoPe0KID6SRH9do7d%2FBreakroom_USING_BREAKROOM_TRAINING_002_2026.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=23d1b4be-b5a3-40a0-961c-20fb0aac7540" alt=""><figcaption><p>Pictured: A closeup of the Breakroom for Training widget.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Depending upon the settings in place, you may be guided through a quick tour of the widget tools. For reference, here's an overview of the four buttons, starting in the upper right corner and moving clockwise.

<table><thead><tr><th width="168">Button</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Quiz Activity</td><td>Allows you to review your quiz activity and progress for all active courses.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVieOdbgiA4">My Notes</a></td><td>Opens your own personal in-world notepad, where you can take notes for each course.</td></tr><tr><td>Notifications</td><td>Contains notices, alerts, and messages about your course activity.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="https://youtu.be/obxEln-O_5U?feature=shared">Course Info</a></td><td>Allows you to view descriptions of all offered courses.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's important to note that Breakroom for Training notifications will not persist between user sessions. When you log off, this information will no longer be accessible to you.

## Taking quizzes

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/PwkThuqN-jw?feature=shared>" %}

Quizzes are pushed forward to students either by the Instructor or by execution of an automated [syllabus](#running-syllabuses). Quizzes may contain a mix of timed and untimed material review, multiple choice questions, free answer spaces, and matching games.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2Fuy5TcCI43uL7BuE5spRE%2FBreakroom_USING_BREAKROOM_TRAINING_003_2026.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=ed4467ee-c3d9-4576-972d-d4cca02cd17b" alt=""><figcaption><p>Pictured: The Reference buttons.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Question cards may contain **See Reference Links** or **See Reference Images buttons**. Clicking on these buttons will allow you to review material that may be necessary to answer a question, such as charts or writing excerpts.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FXGutvapVcBPCu0GJdehv%2FLMS_World_005.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=ac56242c-a7bb-4b54-aeb7-9dcad8b1fc94" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Pictured: An example multiple choice question.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The top portion of each question card contains grading requirements. Here you can see:

* Whether the question is required or optional
* What the answer requirements are (for example, you may need to make two choices, or write a minimum number of words)
* Whether the answer requirements have been met (denoted by a red light or a green light)
* How many points the question is worth
* How many total questions are on the quiz

You can navigate between questions by using the **forward** and **back arrows** in the top right corner, or by clicking the **Previous** and **Next buttons** at the bottom of the quiz screen.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2Fb1ZDTfkSLVGAaAfsIGrz%2FLMS_World_006.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=809be1cb-c4fd-4752-98b2-2c4917a9da0a" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Pictured: The submission confirmation screen.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

When you're done taking a quiz and click the final **Next button**, you'll be asked to confirm whether you want to submit your quiz for a final grade. Click the **Submit button** to do so, or click the **Review button** to continue working.

## Completing waivers

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FVbg6tQMkgn0cNt3Evi0w%2FLMS_World_007.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=9e957468-db7c-4091-ba3d-69b2907011d2" alt="" width="372"><figcaption><p>Pictured: An example Breakroom for Training waiver.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Waivers can consist of syllabus information, content warnings, disclaimers, or requests for feedback. Just like quizzes, Instructors and automated [syllabuses](#running-syllabuses) can both push waivers to students. When you receive one, review the included information and click the relevant **button** to register your response.

## Running syllabuses

A syllabus is a standardized educational content module that can include on-screen annotations and other messages, timers, quizzes, waivers, viewable media files, and more. Syllabuses can be Instructor- or student-led. If a syllabus is meant to be used as part of a virtual classroom environment, the Instructor will launch and control the associated interface. If a syllabus is set up to launch automatically for individual users, it will begin running when your student avatar enters the Region.&#x20;

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FmTFLdc7r9v05NGkuDE4k%2FBreakroom_USING_BREAKROOM_TRAINING_004_2026.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=3632aab7-5247-4769-b904-8e8498bba25f" alt="" width="482"><figcaption><p>Pictured: The Syllabus and Breakroom for Training widgets.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

Once a syllabus is launched, a **Syllabus widget** will appear on all Instructor and student screens (or the individual student's screen, if the syllabus is student-led). Here's an overview of the associated UI.

<table><thead><tr><th width="161.6363525390625">Button</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Drag handle</td><td>Allows you to move the widget around the screen by <strong>clicking and dragging</strong> on it.</td></tr><tr><td>Annotation button</td><td>Toggles the Annotation panel.</td></tr><tr><td>Step indicator</td><td>Displays the current syllabus step. Allows you to navigate to a specific step by typing a number into the step field and pressing the <strong>Enter key</strong>.</td></tr><tr><td>Total steps</td><td>Displays the total number of steps in the syllabus.</td></tr><tr><td>Arrow buttons</td><td>Allows whoever is controlling the syllabus to <strong>rewind</strong> and <strong>advance</strong> through the steps.</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FzUyAscwp4201UloEUm9e%2FLMS_002.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=d2b32c0d-832e-4636-ac9c-5839162d0308" alt=""><figcaption><p>Pictured: An example of how a syllabus may appear on the user's screen.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

If you are participating in a student-led syllabus, you will use the **arrow buttons** on the Syllabus widget to execute the program of instruction. Click the **Annotation button** to toggle the Annotation panel, and interact with the media, [quizzes](#taking-quizzes), and [waivers](#completing-waivers) that appear on your screen as instructed.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1679086873-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F5gOE0ivmDtuXfHroTVSx%2Fuploads%2FPP88prn0UapM5zBiQ8Gz%2FLMS_Syllabus_046.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=6c70878e-ecc6-4b5c-8033-bf7238f750a6" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Pictured: The student-led syllabus confirmation box.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

When you progress to the end of a student-led syllabus, you'll be presented with a confirmation box. Once you click the **Yes button**, the syllabus will be marked as complete and closed.

### "Done This Before"

When rewinding syllabus steps, it's important to note that the Breakroom for Training system remembers the highest step you have reached. Certain actions *will not be repeated* when you advance through that step again, even if they were triggered during the first use.

This also applies if you choose to manually jump over a step and then backtrack, rather than advancing through the content using the arrow buttons on the Syllabus widget.\
\
For example:

1. You are on step 15 in a syllabus.
2. You advance to step 16. All actions for step 16 happen, as you’ve never been this far in the syllabus before.
3. You then use the rewind arrow to backtrack to step 12. Steps 16-12 (working backwards) are considered "already done" and will not trigger the actions listed below. All other actions will be repeated.
4. Starting at step 12, you then use the arrow button to advance the syllabus until you are at step 17. Steps 13-16 are still considered to have been "already done." You've never been on step 17, however, so all actions on step 17 will be executed.

The “skipped if already done” actions currently include:

* Tours conducted through use of the Breakroom Tour Cameras
* Countdown timers
* Starting a quiz
* Starting a waiver
* Some custom functions
