Course Content
When you go into the "Course Content" area of the course there will usually be a listing of sections, modules or other course units.

The files are organised in different levels. Note the small triangles next to some items. This means that the item can be expanded. For example, clicking on the triangle next to item will expand the section to show sub-sections.
Clicking on any of the links will take you directly to the page. |
