What are the tools at the top of a lesson?

The bar at the very top of the page has:

• Outline: every module and lesson in the course, with ticks for what you have done.
• ?: help without leaving the lesson. Search our help articles, read the common questions, or ask your tutor or our technical team.
• Aa: make the text bigger (Standard, Large or Larger) and switch between light and dark colours. Your choices are remembered.

Above the lesson title, a strip shows where you are, such as Lesson 3 of 6, with arrows to the previous and next steps. The next arrow lights up once the lesson is marked complete.

The toolbar on the lesson itself has a few tools to make reading easier:

• Reading time: the clock shows about how many minutes the page takes to read.
• Contents: on longer pages, jump straight to any heading.
• Ruler on and Ruler off: a reading ruler that highlights one line at a time to help you keep your place. You can also press Alt+R to switch it on and off.
• Notes: write your own notes on the lesson. They save as you type.
• Info: our accessibility and course guide.
