2. Overview of Moodle

How you navigate around Moodle depends partly on the theme that we will be using, but some common features are explained in the following video and the text underneath it. 


There is a user menu at the top right when you are logged in and this has quick links to useful areas of Moodle. You can edit your profile from there or change your preferences.

You can access messages and notifications from the icons at the top.

Dashboard, either in the user menu or the nav drawer takes you to a customizable page with links to your courses and activities needing attention.

You can also navigate around using Moodle's navigation bar (which others call a breadcrumb trail) at the top of your screen.
