The course menu appears on the left side of a course and contains links to course materials and tools within the course.
Instructors can customize the appearance of the course menu and the content and tools available to users.Two views may be made available to users: Quick View and Detail View.If both views are available users may toggle between them:
• Quick View – Displays top-level of course materials. Links may be displayed as buttons or text.
• Detail View – Displays course materials as seen in the Course Map. This view expands to show the hierarchy of course navigation.
Using the Detail View makes it easier to locate specific items that can be buried deep within the course. Because of this feature it very advantageous if you use descriptive names for every item you add to your course.
A Tools Panel appears as part of the Course Menu. This box may contain links to Communication, the Course Map, and/or Course Tools.
Links to tools may also be added to the main part of the Course Menu so they appear in the Detail View or the Course Map.
