How to use this site
Tasks are divided into individual pages, illustrated by screenshots. Don’t click on the screenshots–they’re just there to give you an idea of what to expect on your screen. The top of the right hand column will contain the modules you’ll be covering in your course. These contain links to the specific tasks. Alternatively, you can find the same pages by scrolling down through the middle column.
