Moving around the course
At the bottom of each page, you will see a link to the next page. Equally, at the end of each session, you can find a link to the next session. If at any time you want to return to the start of the course, click on ‘Course content’ in the menu on the left. From here you can navigate to any part of the course. Alternatively, use the session links at the top of every page of the course.
Keeping two windows open on this course
Throughout this online course you activate links that navigate you away from the main learning pathway on to a side path of related content. It is recommended that you hold down the Crtl button on your keyboard and click on the link to open the side path in a new window.
In this way, you can keep this learning pathway open in one window and view the new side path content in a separate window.
