On the left side of the video window you can see the course table of contents. Hovering over a section will show you how many sub-sections it contains. You can also expand or collapse the section from the + and - buttons. Once you have found a section or sub-section you wish to navigate to, all you need to do is click it and the corresponding video will automatically start to play.
Once you started watching a video, you can also navigate to the previous or next video via the <prev and next> arrows located above the video player.

By default, the videos are set to auto-play, so once you have finished watching a video the next video will automatically start to play. You can disable or re-enable this function by clicking the autoplay button at the top of the video player.

When playing videos in the video window, you will be able to view a transcript underneath the video player.
When the video is playing, once a video starts playing, you will see the corresponding part of the transcript highlighted.
You can click on any sentence in the transcript and the video skip to that part.
