An article of manufacture comprising:

• a machine readable medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a machine, will cause the machine to perform operations including:
• launching a course, the course having a plurality of portions including a first portion and a second portion;
• displaying the first portion of the course;
• determining when the first portion of the course is exited;
• upon exiting of the first portion of the course, determining whether the first portion of the course is exited at a beginning of the first portion;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at the beginning of the first portion, determining whether the first portion is a starting portion of the course in accordance with a course structure format information of the course;
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the starting portion of the course, launching a previous portion of the course;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at an end of the first portion, determining whether the first portion is a last portion of the course;
• and
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the last portion of the course, launching a next portion of the course.

An apparatus for navigating a course, the apparatus comprising:

• first launching means for launching the course, the course having a plurality of portions including a first portion and a second portion;
• means for displaying the first portion of the course;
• first determining means to determine when the first portion of the course is exited;
• upon exiting of the first portion of the course, second determining means to determine whether the first portion of the course is exited at a beginning of the first portion;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at the beginning of the first portion, third determining means to determine whether the first portion is a starting portion of the course;
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the starting portion of the course, second launching means to launch a previous portion of the course;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at an end of the first portion, fourth determining means to determine whether the first portion is a last portion of the course;
• and
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the last portion of the course, third launching means to launch a next portion of the course.

An apparatus for navigating a course, the apparatus comprising:

• a learning management system (LMS), the LMS launching the course, the course having a plurality of portions including a first portion and a second portion;
• and
• an navigation module coupled to the LMS, the navigation module performing tasks including:
• upon exiting of the first portion of the course, determining whether the first portion of the course is exited at a beginning of the first portion;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at the beginning of the first portion, determining whether the first portion is a starting portion of the course in accordance with a course structure format information of the course;
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the starting portion of the course, launching a previous portion of the course;
• if the first portion of the course is exited at an end of the first portion, determining whether the first portion is a last portion of the course;
• and
• if it is determined that the first portion is not the last portion of the course, launching a next portion of the course.
