I've opened up the course called
Introduction to HTML and CSS.
0:01
And I'm ready to click on the first
video called Welcome to HTML and CSS.
0:06
There are quite a few features
on this video learning page.
0:12
Let's check them out.
0:15
This text link up top with a left
arrow returns me to the main
0:18
page for the course.
0:22
So if I click on the wrong video,
no worries,
0:24
this link takes me back
to where I started.
0:27
The next feature is an easy one to miss.
0:30
Above each video is a series
of small circular links.
0:34
This is actually a navigation
bar that links to other content
0:39
found within the stage.
0:43
If you're using a mouse, hovering
over these links reveals more
0:46
information about the content.
0:50
Here's a video called building
web pages with HTML and CSS.
0:52
And here's a code challenge called
Changing the Look of a Web Page.
0:57
If I click on that link, I'm taken
straight to the code challenge.
1:02
Though I probably shouldn't attempt
this until I've watched the videos.
1:06
So I'll navigate back to the first video.
1:11
A checkmark in this navigation,
1:14
by the way, indicates you've previously
completed this content, though,
1:16
there's nothing wrong with reviewing
something you've already learned.
1:20
The video itself has
an interface at the bottom.
1:26
Besides the play/pause button,
1:30
there's a rewind button that
skips backward ten seconds.
1:32
So if you feel like you just missed
something important, you can
1:36
skip back and watch it again.
1:40
The scrub bar beneath the video
is clickable as well.
1:42
So it might be easier
to just click that and
1:46
jump as far forward or
backward as you need.
1:49
Now here's an interesting feature,
a button called speed.
1:54
Treasure Porth is a great teacher,
but maybe she's talking a bit too
1:59
fast for you? Try slowing
down the video.
2:03
Or, maybe you've seen this video and
just want a super quick refresh,
2:07
try speeding it up.
2:12
Closed captions are an absolutely
essential part of video learning.
2:17
Not only do they make videos accessible
for students with hearing loss or
2:23
auditory processing disorder, but
many students find they learn new
2:28
concepts better while using captions.
2:32
Here's the button to toggle
them on and off.
2:35
An important bonus feature to Treehouse's
captions is that they're draggable.
2:38
Captions are usually found in
the bottom center of the screen, but
2:44
sometimes they might cover
an important bit of content.
2:48
No problem, I'll just click and
drag them out of the way.
2:51
Only two video controls remain.
2:56
One to mute the video or
adjust the volume and
2:59
one to make the video full screen.
3:03
The final button, Launch Workspace,
allows students to code along with
3:07
the video lesson.
3:12
But we'll come back to that
a little later in this workshop.
