Customizing Course Navigation Links

Course Navigation is the set of links on the left side of a course.

Links that are black are visible to your students, those that are gray are not.
Teachers have access to every tool on the list regardless of whether they are black or gray.
- You can sort links and customize which links to make visible (or not) to students.
- Students always see Home and never see Settings. Only show the links that you are using in your course. Show the fewest links possible to cut down on confusion and makes navigating your course easier.

You will find basic information about each link below. Additional information about the links will be provided later in the training.
