The ability to set scenarios and groups as resources has been added. When a group or scenario is set as a 'resource', the group or scenario will not appear through the ordinary course of navigation (through the next, previous, or course map buttons) for the learner. The resource can only be accessed via the 'Jump-To' settings on Jump-To screens. This allows course authors to assemble collections of screens that can be used as resources from anywhere in the course. When the learner visits the resource, they can navigate through the screens of the resource using the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons. If the learner clicks on the 'Previous' button on the first screen of the resource, they will be returned to the course screen they were on prior to entering the resource. Likewise, if the learner navigates through to the last screen of the resource and clicks 'Next', they will also be returned to the screen they were on prior to the resource.
