Navigating This Course on a Computer

Modules will take you to the contents (like a textbook) for our course. You reach the modules from the link on the left-hand-side course navigation bar. You must move through the modules in order. Start at "Table of Contents with Learning Outcomes."

Once you are in a module, you will be on a Canvas "page," "discussion," or "quiz." (Later you will notice that in this course we call some of our quizzes "checkpoints.") This course is structured like an online book, except that some of the pages of the book are interactive—they are discussions or quizzes instead of just reading.

After you read a Canvas "page", press the "◯ Mark as done" button at the top right and pressing the "Next ▶" button at the bottom right to move to the next page, discussion, or quiz.

If you are at a quiz (or checkpoint), you must take the quiz before you can move to the next page, discussion, or quiz. Click the blue "Take the Quiz" button and then submit the quiz. Then you can press the "Next ▶" button at the bottom right of the page.
