Teaching tips

Preview the external elearning link yourself (tablet, computer, or web) before assigning it to students, since the purchased PDF itself contains no instrument content to preview offline.
If browser access is denied, download the PDF locally and open the links from PDF Expert or a similar reader, as the flyer specifically warns some browsers block the links.
Because the computer version does not work on Mac per the flyer's note, confirm your classroom's device compatibility before assigning independent use.

Skills covered

External elearning navigation -- the PDF's actual task is selecting the correct tablet, computer, or web download link and launching the linked elearning player; no instrument-matching content exists within the PDF pages themselves.
