Course Menu
The course menu appears on the left side of your course window. It is the cornerstone for the organization and navigation of your course. You create links on the course menu to present tools and materials to users. You can customize its appearance and order the links.
The course menu appears in a list view, which displays only the top level of course materials. You can choose buttons or text for your links.
Click the Display Course Menu in New Window icon 
to view the course materials as a directory tree in a new window. Users can expand the view to show the hierarchy of course navigation.
Your institution can restrict options to maintain a consistent style for all courses. This can include making some tools unavailable or setting permanent course area names.
How to Create a Link on the Course Menu
- Change Edit Mode to ON and point to the plus sign above the course menu. The Add Menu Item drop-down list appears.
- Select the type of content to create.
- Type a Name. Complete any other required text boxes, such as URL for Web Link.
- Select the Available to Users check box to allow users to see the link on the course menu. You can create content ahead of time, hide the link, and then show the link at the appropriate time.
- Click Submit. A link to the new content appears on the course menu.
Create an uncluttered course menu to maintain efficient navigation for your users, and try to limit the number of links included in the course menu. Use content areas to hold related items and give your course organization and structure.
