Tips for using this resource:
- Viewing: For the best experience, open the presentation on a computer or tablet using Microsoft PowerPoint or a compatible viewer. This will ensure all images and diagrams display correctly.
- Audio: Each slide of the presentation includes audio explanations. Make sure your device’s sound is turned on and not muted. Each time a slide changes, the audio should begin automatically. If it does not, look for the speaker icon in the middle of each slide, hover over it and click the play button when it appears.
- Navigation: The slides should change automatically when the audio for each is complete. If it does not, or you would like to move forward or backward through the presentation, use the arrow keys or on-screen controls to move through the slides at your own pace. You can revisit sections as needed.
