On the Courses navigation page, when interacting with the course filters, the header of each filter is formatted awkwardly (e.g., “_courseCategory” instead of “Course Category”).
On the audio-only player, adjusting playback speed does not function properly. If you want to adjust your playback speed, you must keep your player in video mode. Audio-only is currently available as a tool for people to save bandwidth in limited data environments or if their cellular plan is data-restrictive.
