Customizing the Course Menu

The Course Menu is a highly customizable space for adding the critical tools and resources for your course.  A well-organized Course Menu can do a lot to help students stay on track!  When you web enhance your class, the Course Menu comes populated with examples of different Learn components:  "Course Dashboard" is a Module page, "Course Information" is an empty Content Area, and the last four are Web Links.

The course menu in your UNM Learn template course is highly customizable.


What can you do to customize your Course Menu? Below we explain how to:
     *Add a Tool Link - popular ones include things like Email, My Grades, Discussions, Journals, Announcements, Web Conference Sessions...
     *Add a Content Link - a container used to display and organize materials and activities which can further be grouped into Folders or Learning Modules
     *Add a Web Link - URLS to sites that are central to the course
     *Re-order items.
     *Hide/ Show/ Modify/ Delete
