Narrative:

Location: 6 mi from oxi. On okk 1 arrival, direct to oxi, received altitude change based on ord. First officer flying, switched frequencys on his navigation #2. I corrected him and said I would provide the information from navigation #1. When the first officer switched frequencys again, he went to okk and started a right turn on a different part of the arrival. I corrected him and we returned to the proper procedure. We were on top of oxi at 300 KTS and ended up 6 mi northeast of the proper position. ATC then gave us a 270 degree heading back to course.
