All Courses: Introduction: Handouts

Browsing | Printing


Browsing

  • You can review the 'slides' and references for this course by browsing these web pages.
  • Since these course web pages are dynamic (and lengthy), there are no paper handouts.

Printing

  • You can make your own offline version: for printer, or a .pdf for computer, tablet, or eReader.
  • However, a recent .pdf link on main course page (if available) has some advantages:
  • internal links (between pages on this site): open that page in a browser (unfortunately, does not scroll within the pdf viewer)
  • external links (to other sites): open that page in a browser
  • quotes, jokes, clues, etc. -- all already expanded
  • images: lower resolution, for smaller file size
  • Note: after each (sub)section's title, there's currently an extra line with a link to the (sub)section page.
  • To save space, some pages may have been omitted, e.g., "interactive" (blank) crosswords and some (older) galleries
    -- you can access these online by click on their (sub) section header link.
  • Page width & portrait vs. landscape layout affects line wrapping and images (abutted or split across pages).
  • Unfortunately, there's no easy way to have a section automatically start a new page.
  • If you want to take notes, print just the upcoming sections prior to a class (since later sections might yet be updated)
  • If you want an archival copy of entire course, best to wait until end of course (after all updates)
  • To print a particular page or section, e.g.:
    [via menu] OLLI Courses > Be Safer on the Internet > Introduction > Topics
    [via URL] https://communicrossings.com/safer-internet-introduction-topics
  • Click on "Printer-friendly version" (link at bottom right of page) to create a simpler page format
    without header, menu, footer; it includes any subsections -- this may take a little while to generate
  • (browser) > File > Print
  • If you want only the presentation part of the topic -- and not all of the References,
    or other subsections (in a higher-level section), review / adjust page range before hitting the Print button!
  • To print the entire course (maybe at end when most updates have occurred), go to the main (top) page for the course, e.g.:
    [menu] OLLI Courses > Be Safer on the Internet
    [URL] https://communicrossings.com/olli-course-keeping-safer-internet
  • Click "Printer-friendly" link at bottom right -- this will include all pages in the course
  • (browser) > File > Print
  • Depending on your skill and OS, you might be able to select "PDF" as your print destination
  • macOS: (print window) > PDF (menu at lower left) > Save PDF
  • iOS: (share icon) > Save PDF to iBooks
