Accessing content within the Content tool

If you work through course content online within the Content tool, you can access bookmarked content and follow course events from Bookmarks and Upcoming Events areas.

The Table of Contents link enables you to browse course materials and assignments and keep track of your progress, since the number beside a module indicates how many topics within the module you need to complete. The number decreases as you work through course materials.

Use the Table of Contents panel to view a specific module or sub-module directly.

The Content tool has four main areas:

• Overview An overview of the course and information about course expectations.
• Bookmarks Lists the topics you bookmark. Click the Add Bookmark icon while viewing a topic to add it to your bookmarks list. The number beside the Bookmarks link indicates how many bookmarks you added within the course.
• Upcoming Events Lists course material due dates, start dates, end dates, and other course events for the next seven days. Dates listed on this page are not exclusive to Content topics; upcoming events include all events within the course from the Calendar tool. The number beside the Upcoming Events link indicates how many upcoming events you have.
• Table of Contents Browse course materials and assignments here. The number beside a module listed in the Table of Contents panel indicates how many topics within the module you need to complete. The number decreases as you work through course materials.

You can search within a course's Content tool for modules and topics by title and description.

1. Enter your search term in the Search Topics field.
2. Click Search. Search results display in the same sequence as they appear within course content.
3. Click Clear Search to perform a new search.

If you click on a .doc, .docx, .rtf, .rtfx, or .pdf file topic , you can preview it in a document viewer on the topic's page.

Collapsible side panel within topics

You can access content through a smaller version of the Table of Contents within a topic by opening the collapsible side panel, which only shows the contents of one module at a time. Click or swipe the side tab handle to open the side panel.

Note The swipe-to-open action for the collapsible side panel is not available on the Nexus 7 device.

Browse through modules by clicking the Previous module or Next module, or click the Go to Table of Contents icon to return to the Table of Contents page.
