Finding your way round this usability course

Going to the next page

There's a next page link in the bottom right corner of each page - click it when you're ready to move on.

On some pages you may have scroll down to see the "Next page" link.

This is OK for a course - you should read the whole page before moving on.
But it's a poor design technique for most pages - we'll see why later.

Going to the previous page

Hit your browser's "Back" button.

Going to other pages on this site

Use the menu down the side, which works like Windows Explorer - see our Help page for more information

Examples and aids in additional windows

Many of the links in the middle of pages open a new browser window:

• To our dictionary, so you can look at the dictionary definition and see how it fits in the context of the page which uses the term.
• To our Help page, so that you can see the Help page and the page where you requested help.
• To examples which illustrate some of the points made in the course.
  Some examples deliberately use bad techniques which would make it hard for you to get back to the course page, and we have to use pop-up windows for these.
  So for consistency we've used pop-up windows for all examples.
• Some quotes and examples need a whole screen to themselves.

We've placed this symbol after all links which open a new window,
for example here's a link which opens our Help page in a new window.

When you've finished with these additional windows, just close them.

Getting help

Click the "Help" option in the menu down the side.
It opens our help page in a new window.
