Saving Your Place

Saving Your Place

As long as your browser is set to accept cookies (small, harmless text files), this course automatically saves your place when you use the Exit button. Your current location in the course is stored on your computer or network. When you visit the course again, it will ask whether or not you wish to return to your previous location. If you click OK, the previous location is loaded. If you exit the course in any other way, your place will not be saved. As long as you use the Exit button to leave the course, your place will always be saved. Exiting the course in the middle of a graded assignment is not a good idea because you will lose any answers you have already marked.

Visiting Other Sites

Throughout this course you will have many opportunities to visit course-related Web sites that are not administered by BYU. You can visit these sites by clicking a Visit Site button in the course material or by using the Sites button. Please keep in mind that BYU does not have any control over these external sites. It is possible that some of these sites may be down for maintenance, slow, or busy when you try to connect to them. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to remedy a problem with an external site. If you discover that a site has moved to a new location, please let us know by using the Feedback button.

When you do link to an external site, it will be displayed in the main window (or frame) of the course. The course navigation buttons and the table of contents remain in place while you are "away" visiting another site. You can return to the course by using the Back button on your browser, by using the Next or Previous buttons (in the upper-left hand corner of the screen), or by clicking on a lesson in the table of contents (on the left-hand side of the screen).
