Using the navigation features in Moodle makes it easy to search and move between pages in Moodle. You can also use the back button to navigate, which is why it is important, as an editor that you always open links in the same window, expect if providing help information specific to that page. |

Navigate to a course?When you log in, your My home page will appear listing all the courses you are enrolled on as a tutor, administrator or student. Hidden courses are not visible to students and will appear to staff at the bottom of the Course overview list. - You can Search for courses using the search box at the top of the My home area. You can also follow the All courses ... link at the bottom of the page to browse the Moodle course hierarchy.
- If you have a lot of courses you will see a link to show all my courses at the bottom of the course list.
- Once you have identified the course you want, to enter it click on the course title. The course home page, the main web page for the course will appear. See M01 - Moodle course structure to learn more about the Moodle course layout.
Navigate within a course and other areas of Moodle?Use the breadcrumb trail at the top of every page, which tells you where you are within Moodle and lets you navigate back to a parent page, such as your course homepage, or My Home page. 
- To return to the course homepage, click on the short course name (in the example above this is The Digital Dep CMALT 2013).
- The first link on the crumbtrail always takes you to your My home page (where all your courses are listed).
- The Navigation block (to the left or right of the main content) provides links back to My home and from here you can click a course name to access that course. Within a course, the navigation block provides a clickable list of sections within each course (see caution below for required settings for this to work).
When you are logged in you will see in the top right of the screen a logout link and your name which links to your profile and some useful links to update your preferences.
