8,780 Points[Suggestion] Button to go back to current course?
I couldn't find a feedback option, so I assumed this would be the best place to put this.
So when you're in a step of a certain course (viewing a video, taking a quiz/challenge), there's a button to take you back to the track you're on, but not the course.
For example, I'm currently taking the Front End Web Development track, and I'm on the second stage of the Javascript Basics course. Sometimes when I'm done with a video or quiz, I want to see how many steps are left in the stage or see how many stages are left in the course. The only way to do that is to click on "Front End Web Development" to take me to the track, then scroll down and click on the course, and then click on resume, which finally lets me view the stages and steps.
Here's a picture of the button I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/ddbNnoU.jpg
My suggestion is to just have a button to go back to the course right next to or below the button to go back to the track. Or maybe replace the track button with a course button and be able to go back to the track from there.

8,780 PointsWow, thanks so much! I can't believe I didn't notice that. I guess it's not very obvious that it's a link or button. But anyways, thanks for pointing it out!

8,780 PointsThanks for the reply. I already knew about that, but the thing is: if you've completed multiple steps since last viewing the course, you have to click the back button as many times as the steps you've completed which is pretty annoying if I've completed like 6 steps, especially since each page has to load after clicking the back button. And if I opened up my browser when I was in a step, that doesn't work at all.
