Looking for feedback on Course Start Slide

How do you all introduce your courses? What do you communicate before getting into the course itself. Navigation etc. Here is a sample start slide. I'd like feedback on its features and function. I'm also looking for advise on how to use the previous button from a slide layer to go back to its base layer. Is that possible?  Here's the demo:

  • It is helpful to indicate whether or not a course includes audio, since that might require action (e.g., plugging in headphones). 

    Your other instructions are nicely presented. I think it's good that they're optional. However, they're only available on the first slide. What if someone starts the course, and then realizes they need help?

    Re: using the PREV button to close a layer.

    • That is possible. For example, you could use a T/F variable to track whether or not the user is on a layer. Then use a condition in the PREV-button trigger so it closes this layer if the variable = True, else it jumps to the previous slide. 
    • I recommend against doing that. The PREV button has a defined function: jumping to the previous slide. It goes against UI standards to use it for other purposes.
