Tips for using the course materials
The interactive lesson should display full-screen on your computer, i.e., there should not be any scroll bars. If your computer is not properly configured, the lesson navigation controls will not be accessible.

 

 Minimum screen resolution is 1280 X 800
Use the function eleven key (F11) to set browser to full screen
Set task bar to "auto hide"


 if the interactive lesson does not load edge-to-edge on your screen, reduce the size of the browser window slightly (see bottom right of browser status bar for zoon control)

 
The interaction will not appear on your screen if all pop-up blockers are not disabled. If you see a white screen with the SumTotal logo only, i.e., no interactive lesson appears, then your browser or another program is still blocking pop-up browser windows. Two principal settings must be changed in your browser setup: Security and Privacy.
