Moodle Tutorials: Navigating Your Moodle Dashboard

Navigating the Moodle Dashboard

There are two main page views you will encounter in Moodle: the Dashboard, and individual Moodle course pages.

• The Dashboard has several main navigation areas: (see image below)

1. The account @ pacificu.edu menu - From here you can go to quick links from your my Account, you can go directly to the Library homepage, or you can click on More to go to additional myAccount services. 
2. Navigation Drawer - From here you can navigate to your other courses.
3. Course Overview area - In this section you can filter and sort your course list.
4. Moodle Help & Tutorials block - This link will take you to Moodle help tutorials.

Course Overview Block features:

 

You have six options to filter your course list. You can "Star" or "Hide" a course by clicking the three dots.

You can also Sort the course list:

Recently Accessed Courses Block

You can easily get to the ten most recently accessed courses from the Recently Accessed Courses block. By default it will most likely appear below the Course Overview Block, but you can move it anywhere on the Dashboard page by the Customize this page button.
