Accessing content within the Content tool

If you work through course content online within the Content tool, you can access bookmarked content and follow course events from Bookmarks and Upcoming Events areas.

The Table of Contents link enables you to browse course materials and assignments and keep track of your progress since the number beside a module indicates how many topics within the module you need to complete. The number decreases as you work through course materials.

Use the Table of Contents panel to view a specific module or sub-module directly.

The following video provides a guide on the different ways to view onQ content:

If you click on a .doc, .docx, .rtf, .rtfx, or .pdf file topic, you can preview it in a document viewer on the topic's page.

Collapsible side panel within topics

You can access content through a smaller version of the Table of Contents within a topic by opening the collapsible side panel, which only shows the contents of one module at a time. Click or swipe the side tab handle to open the side panel.

Note: The swipe-to-open action for the collapsible side panel is not available on the Nexus 7 device.
