We have added the Courses tool to the web app. You can access it via the Tools menu.

Some functionality you are familiar with from desktop is currently unavailable on the web app but we are continuing to fill in those gaps as we go. You are now able to start and continue your coursework online and sync it to/from the desktop app.

A few of the known limitations include the lack of self tests, course sections which link to guides/Factbook/etc. do not work, course progress is not visible on the main page, and faceting browsing is not yet available.

We look forward to your feedback as we continue to add functionality to the courses tool.

    I've just been thinking about how much I wanted access to the courses tool on mobile so I can worth through some sections on my lunch-break. Good stuff!

    This is a great addition.  I did notice that accessing the courses tool changes the layout and moves all open panels into a single layout.  It would be nice to maintain the chosen layout without having to change it back once you are in the courses tool

    Several of our tools are designed for larger viewports. On desktop we open these as floating windows and we are trying to find the best solution on the web app. We appreciate your feedback as we do so.

    One thing you can try doing is right clicking on the item in the tool menu and opening in a new browser tab or window (this can also be accomplished by clicking the link with the middle mouse button if you have one). If you try this and find you like it let us know so we can continue to improve the experience for other users as well.

    Great suggestion.  I keep thinking inside the box and forget that with the web app you can play outside the box and open additional instances of the program.  This works just fine and since I use two monitors I can just move it over and everything works perfectly.

    Thanks!

    Great, thanks! checking out on iPhone 6plus now.  appreciated that can open scripture reference window, but obviously "jump to reference" takes me out of video completely.  Wondering if scripture pericope could be scrolled completely in pop-up window? (such as when I clicked on Gen 3:1-7, but only 1-5a appeared . . . 

    I like Apples.  Especially Honeycrisp.
