How to move around in the Moodle site.
There are several ways to move around in your course(s). There is no single 'right way'; it is a matter of personal preference.
Breadcrumbs:
Breadcrumbs are located at the top left margin on the page, directly above the header. They show the 'path' you have taken. The breadcrumb bar remains at the top of your screen even when you have scrolled down the page.
The last page name, in this case is 'Introduction to the Hospital. This where you currently are. To move back to the main 'NUCL 146' page, click on that text. This is faster than using the browser 'back' arrow.
1. How to move around the site(s)
There are several ways to move around in your course(s). There is no single 'right way'; it is a matter of personal preference.
There are three navigation bars available:
- White Static Navigation Bar top of your screen: Left side - Navigation Drawer, Selkirk Logo, Name of Course, Gear icon to access Dashboard.
- Breadcrumb bar located in the header beneath the course title - shows the 'path' you have taken
- Left Side Bar Navigation - it's visibility is controlled by the Drawer icon. The icon is a toggle button.
White Static Navigation Bar:
White Static Navigation bar - far right side icons for the notification menu, notifications for messages, your name and a dropdown menu that allows access to the Dashboard, Profile, Grades, Messages and Preferences
Breadcrumbs:
The Breadcrumb bar is located in the header, directly beneath the title of the course. It shows the 'path' you have taken.
The last page name in this case is 'Assignment #1'. This is where you currently are. To move back to the main 'Learn' page, click on that text. This is faster than repeatedly clicking on the browser 'back' arrow.
Left Side Bar Navigation:
Navigation Drawer: The Drawer icon is a toggle button. See image above.
Clicking on it will either hide or display links to:
- information on the site you are currently in. For example, participants, grades (if the instructor has activated this tool) as well as links to:
- Home, Dashboard, My courses, Private files
- Home - the page you see when you first log in
- Dashboard - a list of all courses you are enrolled in. This view can be filtered and customized by you. More on this later.
- Calendar - shows all current Moodle activity dates for one or all courses you are enrolled in.
- Private Files - serves a similar purpose as a Jump Drive
- My courses - links for all the courses you are currently enrolled in.
