I have this as my major code

import sys, webbrowser
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
from ui_registron import Ui_MainWindow
try:
    import pyttsx
except ImportError:
    raise ImportError, "pyttsx module is required for speech features of registron"

class Main(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    """Main class for registron"""
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
        self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
        self.ui.setupUi(self)
        self.ui.connect(self.greetWelcome)
        self.ui.proceedBtn.clicked.connect(self.checkCampusID)

        #Menu Actions
        self.ui.actionQuit.triggered.connect(self.close)
        self.ui.actionDocumentation.triggered.connect(self.openGitPage)

        # self.ui.actionSignIn.triggered.connect(self.adminAuth)
    def greetWelcome(self):
        function.talk("Welcome to Registron")
    def checkCampusID(self):
        campusID = self.ui.matricInput.toPlainText()
    def openGitPage(self):
        webbrowser.open('http://github.com/bl4ckdu5t/registron')


class programFunctions:
    """Core functions for registron"""
    def talk(self, speech):
        """Uses pyttsx module for speech"""
        engine = pyttsx.init()
        engine.say(speech)
        engine.runAndWait()

function = programFunctions()


if __name__ == '__main__':  
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = Main()

    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

and the ui_registron imported is this

        self.actionManage_Courses.setStatusTip(QtGui.QApplication.translate("MainWindow", "Manage the courses available to students", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

I am trying to change the content of the same window after the proceedBtn is clicked. What do I have to do to move the user to a new window frame? and then they can go back to the initial page with a back button which I will place on the next page
