First-time setup and success checks
Lesson goal in plain language: Search efficiently and record trustworthy workplace information.
Prepare before step 1
- Open the correct application, website, or device screen and wait for its name to be announced.
- Open Chrome manual and review the matching procedure if any command or term is unfamiliar.
- Use only fictional, public, disposable, or instructor-provided practice information. Make a copy before changing an important file.
- Read all numbered instructions once before performing them so you know the intended final result.
Commands used or referenced
Ctrl+L, Tab, Insert+F7., Ctrl+Enter, Insert+T, Insert+Tab, Insert+1
For a plus-sign command, hold the modifier key, press and release the final key, then release the modifier. For a sequence, press and release each key in order. Stop after every command and listen for the result.
Work and verify
- Perform one numbered instruction and stop. Identify the active window, focused control, selected item, cell, slide, message, field, or device area before continuing.
- Compare the result with the lesson goal. A sound alone is not enough; verify the name, state, value, location, permission, or content.
- If the result is wrong, press Escape once to leave an unexpected menu, identify focus again, and use Undo only when the change is safely reversible.
- Save or synchronize at natural stopping points. Confirm the filename and location before closing.
- Complete the “Before submitting” checklist from top to bottom. Correct missing items before marking the lesson complete.
- Close and reopen the practice item, or return to it from the product’s main screen, to prove you can locate and verify the result independently.
Success standard: Explain what each major command did, show the finished result, and recover from one harmless focus or navigation error without another person naming the next key.
Goal
Search efficiently and record trustworthy workplace information.
Step-by-step instructions
- Press Ctrl+L and type a specific research question.
- Review search results by heading with H and by link with Tab or Insert+F7.
- Open one promising result in a new tab with Ctrl+Enter from the address bar suggestion or the available link context command.
- Check the page title, organization, publication or update date, and web address.
- Prefer official government, educational, manufacturer, or primary-source pages for factual instructions.
- Compare the same fact with a second reliable source.
- Do not enter personal information into an unfamiliar search form.
- Record the question, two sources, dates, and the fact verified.
- Return to the original tab and close unused tabs.
- Save the research report as Chrome-Lesson-4.txt.
Screen-reader help: With JAWS, press Insert+T for the window title, Insert+Tab for focused-control information, and Insert+1 for Keyboard Help. Chrome controls and labels can change after browser updates.
