Navigation Menus

Overview

Each course comes with two standard menus, which allows users to navigate throughout the various pages of the course.

The main nav is found at the top right of each page and is often the primary way users navigate between pages within the course.

The footer nav is found at the bottom left of each page and includes links to pages containing supplementary information.

Both menus can be fully customized to fit your needs.

The standard main nav includes the following menu items:

  • Home: This button takes the user to the course content page.
  • Events: This page features live streams of webinars. Users can interact with experts and each other through the chat box.
  • Members: This page lists all users who are actively enrolled in the course session. Information from their user profiles, if complete, will connect to these cards.
  • Discussion: This page features discussion forums and topics that users can use to discuss course content, network, and get to know one another.
  • News Feed: This page features a running log of public course activity, such as discussion posts, event RSVPs, and other user activity. It does not include progress information.

The standard footer nav is empty by default. You can customize the footer nav as described below!

Module Navigation Arrow

  1. Click on the Avatar Icon on the top right of the screen
  2. Navigate to ‘Session Settings’
  3. Select ‘General’ in the menu bar on the left
  4. Click on the checkbox below ‘Show Module Navigation Buttons’
  5. Click ‘Save’
