On the home course page you will have a list of all assignments, all due dates are in central time. You may also see a learning module in Quest. A learning module is very similar to a slide show; slides can either have content or a question you have to answer. You can recognize a learning module from the 
icon on your assignments list.
To move between slides you can use the next slide button in the bottom right or the slide navigation to the top right. If you leave a learning module in progress Quest will remember what slide you ended on so the next time you view the learning module you will begin where you left off.
Your instructor can make content slides and question slides. Content slides only contain teaching materials to guide you through the lesson, however question slides also contain questions embedded in Quest. The following is an explanation of the types of questions you might come across in learning modules.
