Course Tools need improvement

April 6, 2025

It would be helpful to have the option to rewind each module instead of starting all the way over. The material moves fast, and if you miss something, you need to start that section (sometimes a few minutes long) all over again. A time bar and rewinding would help make the course more accessible.
