Marking
Your Page (Bookmarks or Favorites):
To quickly access or return to the Web Based Training module's
home page or any other Web page within this training course mark your
page by using the Web browser feature "bookmark" or "favorites". In Netscape,
Web pages can be marked and saved under the "bookmark" feature. Likewise,
if you are using Microsoft Explorer, Web pages can be marked and saved
using the "favorites" feature.
Your browser
will remember where the address of the page that you marked. This is particularly
helpful if you are working through the modules on various days.
When you
log onto the computer the next time, you click on the bookmark or favorite
item, and it will take you directly to the page you marked. See your browser
help section, under saving a page or other similar language, for specific
instructions on using this feature.
Browser
Buttons
As you can see below each browser type (i.e., Netscape and Microsoft Internet
Explorer) has its own navigational system that consists of buttons usually
located in the top section of your screen. These buttons will be very
important for navigating through the course. They will take you to the
previous page that you were on and forward to the page you came from,
as well as help you scroll up and down and across the screen. The scroll
bar on the right of your screen lets you know where you are on the page.
If the bar is in the middle it indicates that you are in the middle of
the page.
