4. Finding your way around a course

Each Moodle course space comprises several parts with a specific role.

Topics (or chapters)

A "General" topic

Placed at the beginning of each course, it usually consists of a small welcome message, a forum, the course syllabus, and a course presentation.

Topics (or chapters)

Each course has activities or resources made available by the course coordinator. The types of sections and their titles may vary from one course to another.

Click on the desired section or resource/activity to access its content.

Menus

Course index (Menu on the left)

This will allow you to navigate through the sections and their resources and activities by clicking on them. You can open them one by one using the button to the left of the title or in batches using the button at the top right of the index.

Use the exit button to close it.

Block drawer (Menu on the right)

It will appear if the course coordinator has made blocks available. Blocks are generally used to communicate or remind information and share resources.

Tabs

You can access it depending on the settings chosen by the course coordinator. The basic tabs are the course and the participants (mainly teachers and students).
