The "Next" button at the bottom of each Module page will only become available after you have completed the entire Module. The "Next" button at the bottom of each Slide within a Module will only become available after you have listened to the entire Slide.

Though you must complete each slide before moving to the next slide, you can move backwards and forwards freely through any slides that you've already completed.

While we recommend that the course be completed in a single viewing, you may pause the course and complete it in sections at a later time. (Note, however, that progress within a Module will only be saved if you continue on the same computer.)
