Moodle 2.0

Chapter 1
Navigation Block
The Navigation Block shows you where you are, and, where you can go in the site. In
the demonstration, you can see that the student has access to several courses: Email
Overload, Basic Botany, Outlining, Mnemonics, and Critical Reading. Right now,
the student is in the Basic Botany course, in the topic labeled About this Course.
Under that topic, you can see a variety of resources and activities.
With just a few clicks, the student can open another course and jump to a place in
that course.
Earlier in this chapter, I commented on the non-linear nature of many Moodle
courses. Notice that all of the resources for this course are available to the user at all
times. Later, we'll discuss features that allow you to set conditions for when activities
or resources become available to the student.
At the top of the Navigation Block is a link to the site's Home page. Below that,
is a link to the student's home page, My home. The student's home page lists the
courses that the student is enroled in, and the work that the student performs in
those courses.
