Why would you link to the tutorials instead of linking to the HTML spec? The tutorials also discuss WAI-ARIA, CSS, and JavaScript.
I know it can be argued that prerequisites list basic knowledge and the teaching resources are for the instructors to actually dive into and build their courses. But it'd be weird for me to have the same resource both for the prerequisites and for the teaching resources at the bottom.

Will discuss in TF as these examples are part of a broader issue with this "recite" learning outcomes.

This one was specifically referring to mark regions that contain navigation menus, either by using nav or by using headings. It has now been reworded.

"Practical &mdash; Students identify the regions of the page that contain the menus and mark them up using navigation regions or headings where appropriate. Assess students' use of the HTML element `nav` or headings where appropriate to mark up menus."

When I wrote this, I was thinking of a use case where there could be both: menu items with text only and menu items with graphics. Do you think it is not very usual? Would you harmonize in favor of text only as graphics will be further discussed in the next module?
