Learning Environment user interface
Example of an organization's My Home page
My Home and Course Home
My Home is your starting point inside Learning Environment. It is also your organization's homepage where you can access widgets, tool links on the navbar, organization-level content, and other available resources.
Course Home is the first page you see when you navigate to a course. Similar to My Home, it also contains widgets, tool links on the navbar, and resources that enable you to access your personal information, account settings, and course specific content.
Minibar
The minibar is your main navigation tool to courses and personal settings in Learning Environment. The minibar contains a link to My Home, the course selector, alerts, and your personal menu.
Note If you impersonate a user, the name on the minibar becomes the name of the user you are impersonating. You can also view impersonation information in the personal menu. Click the Stop impersonating [user] icon from the personal menu on the minibar to end an impersonation session. You may not have the ability to impersonate users. Contact your system administrator if you think you should have the ability to impersonate users and don't.
Course selector
Your courses are listed in the course selector, and you can sort them by course name or by date last accessed. You can also select specific courses from the course selector and pin them to the top of the list for easier navigation.
