4. Access and Navigation
Accessing your courses
After logging in, on the site Home page under
the My Courses listing
you will see all the available Moodle courses in which you
are enrolled.
Simply click on the name of the course to enter the
course site.
What is in a Moodle course site?
Course Resources and Activities posted by the
instructor can be found in the primary area of the course
site. On the left, you will see a collapsible Nav drawer with
links to course Participants, course Grades, course topic
sections, the site Home, your Dashboard, the Calendar, and
your other courses. This Nav drawer may be opened and closed
to free up space by clicking the icon at the top left with
three horizontal bars. On the right (or beneath the main
course content, depending on your screen size) you will see
any available course Blocks, which are elements that add
extra information or learning content to a
course.
Navigating your course
There are several ways to move around the course. If
you are on a certain page and wish to go back to a previous
page, such as the main page of your course or the Moodle Home
page, the best way is through the
internal Navigation
bar at the top of a course site, also
called the "breadcrumb trail."
