A description of how to view courses and modules in Connexions.
Each piece of content has two major components available for viewing: the actual content itself, and the metadata page, containing information about the content, author, and more. When you first browse to a module or collection, you will be taken to the content page. To see the metadata, select the metadata link at the bottom of the page. Metadata are non-content information about a module, such as the module ID, license type, version number,creation date, revision date, authors, maintainers, copyright holders, module name, keywords, and abstract.

All Connexions content is located in the content repository , which can always be navigated to by clicking the Content tab at the top of the page. To allow you to easily access other parts of Connexions while viewing content (e.g. your MyCNX page or our Help documentation) the blue Connexions logo will always be located above the content you are viewing, including many of the links also on the home page .

What's in this module?

This module first describes the basic layout of the "Viewing Content" pages. There are additional features added to the page when you are viewing content in the context of a collection or a lens. Those extra features are described in the second and third sections of this module.

Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
