This section show the scenario of an instructor performing tasks using the rectangle tool. The rectangle tool is used to put the rectangular shapes into nodes of a lesson. The author might put in rectangles to help with the flow of the lesson or create a box to emphasize certain material.
If the user has created a node with text within it and the user wants to emphasize that text by putting a rectangle around it then the user will use the rectangle tool. The user can either click on the rectangle tool in the Node Tools toolbar or selecting Authoring -> Node Tools -> Rectangle in the menu bar to activate the rectangle tool.
After making the tool active the default rectangle will appear on the bottom left corner of the current node. This is demonstrated in figure 1.
