Questions

What does the little flashing diamond mean when I'm watching the videos in the Bible Module?
If you see a "diamond" symbol flashing while you're watching an animated Bible story, it means that there's a "Point in Time" linked to that story. If you click the diamond, you'll jump "inside the story", and have a contextual explanation of that story by reading the captions and interacting with the environment.
