[ed-med] Next link could more clearly tell people they are going to section landing page #313

I was confused when I saw the Next link on Interaction - navigating and finding because it looks like it should take me to a sibling-level page, but it actually takes me to the section landing / home page.

Is there a way to make links like that more clear?

I realize it's likely to be fairly automated label, but seeing it live was awkward and took a second to predict where the link would take me.

The links are set to cycle within the a section. So for Interaction it goes:

Not sure how you would make it clearer but open to suggestions :)

The good news is that the next and previous links tell the user where they are going. However, we're not entirely consistent. Per Kevin's comment above, the links within Tools and techniques cycle within the section. To be consistent, I made the Next link on the Visual page go to the Diverse abilities and Barriers page, not Tools and Techniques.

We need to look at whether it makes sense to have a loop within each section or if it should be linear, particularly in relation to limitations of the left hand nav. (#324)

left navigation has been updated along with the in-section prev and next buttons.
