•  The 'Request a Work space' page will be displayed > press Application Development button as it is set by default.

• Press the Next Button > the following wizard steps displayed.

• I completed the * required work space fields with the name i preferred but i got the following error since the name of the works pace is not unique. 

        Note: The work space  name has to be unique as your email account.                           This definitely helps ORACLE  to distinguish between your work space and other thousands of  its active work spaces. By default, The work space name is capital Letter.

        The red error message will not disappeared until you rewrite a unique name and press next.  I changed the works pace name as ' Demoo'.

•  After rename the work space, i noticed that the web page didn't respond to any modified changes unless i press next button. In other words, when i manually closed the red rectangular message box located at the upper right side of the page there is no validation occurred against my new work space name...! 
• I wonder, why still this red warning message exists under the work space name text box why it didn't disappear ?!!
•   I pressed Next the work space wizard asks for the schema name to build it's default database objects. The schema name also has to be unique otherwise you will get an error the same as work space.
•  It has a space allocation of  25MB which is temporary suitable for training, tests and further more for client's demonstrations.

Note: At this stage i encountered problems with my internet connection, my lab had disconnected and the page step disappeared. Thanks to Allah, when i refresh the current page i got the current lost step back.

• I rewrite another schema name 'OTT' for Oracle Training Tasks then press Next it accept the name and move forward to the next installation step.
