Title: Course Navigation

When I click on a lesson, why do I get directed back to the main page instead of the lesson?

We have organized Microtutor to have chapters and lessons unlock after specific completion criteria have been met. This organization presents material in a linear and intuitive order to promote learning objective success. If you click on a lesson and get directed back to the main page, it may be because the lesson is currently locked. To unlock the specific lesson, complete the prior content.

Is it okay for me to download Microtutor content to reuse as I go through a course?

We are flattered that you are interested in reusing Microtutor content! You may save content as you go through lessons, but we also have a dedicated Resources & Downloads section you can access in the left panel of a course to download high resolution versions of chapter summaries, teaching slides, and lab activities. You must complete the entire course in order to access this section.

Sometimes when I try to log in, I am directed to a webpage with a random image and nothing else. Did I do something wrong?

We are sorry to hear you encountered this rare issue! You did nothing wrong, and all you need to do to resolve the issue is to reload the microtutor.globalbioimaging.org URL after reaching this unusual webpage. The problem itself is due to a known bug in Moodle, which is the platform used to make the Microtutor website.
