when a module has handouts that can be printed, how do i get them?

Handouts are in PDF format.

In PDF format, you can read it, use a screen reader, save it, or print it.   

Click on the diagonal arrow on the top right of the picture of the handout, and the PDF opens in another tab in your browser.

If the diagonal arrow is not there, move your mouse around the area and click on it until it appears.

Note:  

When you click on a video or PDF on a webpage, it opens it in a new tab on your browser.  To return to the original webpage, just click on the original webpage tab.

The 3 Steps To Print a PDF...

To print a PDF, your computer needs to be connected to a printer.

If it is not, you can save the PDF onto your computer, email it to yourself, and print it from another computer that is connected to a printer.

This is a picture of the PDF opened into a new browser page. A picture of a printer with a red arrow pointing at the printer icon on the top right side of the page shows where to click to print the PDF.

Step 1

This is what you will see when you click on the diagonal arrow in the square.

Click on the picture of the printer on the top right.

This is a picture of the PDF opened into a new browser page after you clicked on the printer link. It has taken you to the section to initiate the printer. A picture of a printer with a red arrow pointing at the printer icon is shown again. This needs to be clicked on to initiate the final step in the printing process

Step 2

You will see the same handout, and there will be a picture of the pages in the handout on the left side.

Click on the picture of the printer again on the top right.

This is a picture of the page that shows the printer information. It shows in blue where to click to print the PDF.

Step 3

This will bring up the printer screen.

Make your choices and click "print."
