Help with the eLearning module

Navigation

Within the HTML and Flash versions, two navigation areas exist. The first navigation area is located at the top of the page. The Home button provides access back to the home page. The second navigation area is located at the bottom right corner of the page. The Next and Previous buttons allow navigation throughout the module.

Each module will also have a Topics menu. This will display on the left hand side of the page. To navigate to a specific topic within a module, click on the corresponding topic heading in the Topics menu.

To exit from a module at any time, simply close the window.

Using the tab key

All menus and objects on the pages of the module can be navigated to using the Tab key. When an object is in focus, a small border will be visible around the object. Pressing the Enter key will activate the object.

Using shortcut keys

The following table outlines keyboard shortcuts for navigating in the Flash and HTML version of the eLearning module in Internet Explorer:

Access keys	Keyboard shortcuts	Menu item	Description
Alt + H + Enter	*	Home	Return to the home page
Alt + N + Enter	+	Next	Go to next page
Alt + B + Enter	-	Back	Go to previous page

Note: In Internet Explorer 6, all these access keys are pressed simultaneously. In Internet Explorer 7, the first two keys in the combination are pressed and released before pressing the Enter key. If an access key combination does not work, press the Tab key and then enter the access key combination again.
