  5. Take lecture quizzes and see your results

Here is another tip/option for iPad Users

You can create a bookmark on your iPad home screen to take the you directly to your course.

Follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that the page you want to bookmark is open, and then tap the Action button at the top of the screen. The Action button looks like an arrow trying to escape a rectangle.
  2. Tap Add Bookmark. A new window opens with a default name for the bookmark, its web address, and its folder location.
  3. To accept the default bookmark name and default bookmark folder, tap Save.
  4. To change the default bookmark name, tap the X in the circle next to the name, enter the new title (using the virtual keyboard), and then tap Save.
  5. To change the location where the bookmark is saved, tap the > symbol in the Bookmarks field, tap the folder where you want the bookmark to be kept, tap the Add Bookmark button in the upper-left corner of the screen, and then tap Save.

When you tap your bookmark it will run just like an application on your iPad.
