I just installed the package on my joomla site. I want to begin using it however I do not know how to locate the default template noted in the component section. I would like to look at it prior to using another Joomla template if possible.

Hi,
If you are using the beta for 6.1, try starting with the steps in this link:

quick start guide
but note two items on the guide that are still in process:
1: you will need to link to your own test mp3 as of now, and
2: the template guide that is referenced is in the works but has not been completed yet.

The default template that you refer to is found under the tab Template Display Settings and it allows you to choose which items will be shown. Probably you would want to start by looking at the Study List Row 1 section and choose which items you wish to have displayed and in what order. You might also want to turn on or off some of the filters in the Filter section.

Hopefully this will help you get started.
