Course Enviroment

To access the course you want, visit the “My Institution” tab and click the course’s name from “My Courses” panel. Alternatively you can visit the “Courses” tab and select from there the course you want.

Every course’s page environment vary in design depending on the instructor but some common elements exist. An example of your environment might look like this:

A. Course -to- course navigation – Use this feature to access all the courses you are enrolled in. Click the downwards arrow next to the house icon so as to access the contextual menu and select another course.

B. Orientation bar  – Use the orientation bar next to the house icon, so as to navigate to previous pages or visit again the home page. You are strongly suggested to use the orientation bar and NOT the web browser’s back button for navigating your course, due to a page expiration message that might be generated.

C. Course menu – The menu on the left side of your page which allows you to access the various course sub-areas. To visit an area into your course, click the corresponding menu item.

 

At the top right side of the course menu, you can see two icons described below:

– Display Course Menu in New Window – it is a detached menu that always displays course materials as a directory tree. Expand the view to reveal the hierarchy and navigate through the course.

– Refresh 

 

If you cannot see the course menu just move your mouse pointer near the course menu frame border. That way an arrow will appear. By clicking that arrow you are able to expand/collapse the course menu.
