Welcome to Module One! This module provides an introduction to the course, and helps set you up for success.

All modules in this course adopt the same format, to help you easily navigate your way through. First, there is an outline page for each module. It contains a blue box, which identifies the things you need to do to complete the module, followed by extension activities you may also choose to do to complete the module.

Next to each activity is a button to press, that takes you directly to that activity. When you have completed the activity, simply press your browser's back button to return to the outline page. If you are confused at any point, simply return to the outline page to reorient yourself and remind yourself of your progress, and what you may still need to do to complete the module.
