Table of Contents

The table of contents is a listing of all the chapters and other content topics covered in this courseware. For the individual chapters, sub-topics are listed in a subcontents frame (see next item)

Subcontents Frame

The subcontents frame is located at the bottom of the screen and is divided into a subjects frame and a contents frame. The subjects frame is used to diplay which section of the courseware is currently being viewed, while the contents frame shows any sub-headings and pertinent information, under that section. An arrow indicator () points to the specific item (page) currently being viewed.

Main Frame

The main frame is the middle frame on the screen, (ie, the one in which this information is being displayed). It is used to display the content of the material covered in this courseware. A link followed in the main frame will generally load up internal documents of the courseware, unless the link is denoted by the icon. Those links are to external resources, and require you to be connected to the internet to access them.
