"How To" in your Moodle Course
Note: The PDFs in this section have now been updated to take account of the upgraded version of Moodle (3.2).
These PDF files will open in pop-up windows.
Moodle 3.2 introduced a new theme which changes the look and feel of courses and it may have been applied to your course. The new theme is better suited to viewing on mobile devices when using a browser. The main difference for students is the navigation bar on the left now contains links to topics within courses and to other courses you are, or have been, studying. Blocks no longer appear in the left hand side of the screen but are on the right hand side as part of the content. You can easily hide the navigation bar to give yourself more screen space for content by clicking on the hamburger icon in the top left hand corner.
