How to navigate within your course

You can access a range of navigation buttons, depending upon where you are in a course. For example, after you have entered the URL for the course but have not yet logged on, you can select links to course information, and a course catalog. As you proceed into the course, more features are available. Some selections in the left-side navigation bar duplicate the linked icons at the top of all course content pages, making it easy to get around in the course.
