Tips for viewing the modules

If you have trouble or are uncomfortable reading the material on the computer screen here are a few tips that might make the experience easier and more like reading a book or journal.

  1. Be Comfortable. Make sure that you have a comfortable chair and desk position to view the content. Make sure that you have a comfortable hand position to use your mouse or touch pad.
  2. Find a Comfortable Screen Resolution. In addition to finding a comfortable browser window width, you should find a comfortable screen resolution for your viewing position. To do this,
    • Go to the Control Panel,
    • Choose Display, then
    • Choose Settings and finally
    • Increase the Screen Resolution to 1920x1200 or 1680x1050 or another setting that will provide a comfortable view.
  3. Find a comfortable browser window width. Using the full browser window width may be tedious if you have a rectangular screen on your PC or laptop computer.
    • Reduce the width of your browser window so that you you can comfortably read the content with minimal left to right head movement. This width will vary according to the screen resolution you are using and how far you are sitting from the screen. It is worth the few minutes it will take to find the optimal viewing position. Go ahead try it now.
    • Note: You should use a window width that does not require that you scroll from left to right. You should be able to scroll up and down the page without scrolling left to right.
  4. Use Multiple Sessions. It is important to plan ahead. Don't try to complete the course all in one login session. After about an hour fatigue can become an issue.

Printing the Modules. If you are still uncomfortable viewing the modules online, it is permissible to print some or all of the materials as needed. You will still need to return to the course site to complete the quiz associated with each module.
