A. Is the Navigation Bar. The navigation bar remains in situ no matter where you are in GCULearn. It provides a handy function for quickly accessing Courses , Content or Communities you are enrolled. It also provides access to additional help resources available in GCULearn. The navigation bar comes in handy if you become disorientated until you become familiar with the system. B. Is your User Menu. The user menu gives you a personalised view of all the courses you are enrolled. You access it by clicking on the downward facing chevron next to your name. The user menu provides access to all your courses and your personal settings, such as text size and personal information. It also provides access to due dates, users, and social tools that help you discover, connect, communicate, and collaborate with your GCU learning network. C. Modules : Modules on the My GCULearn tab collect information from all the courses you teach. Use links in the modules to view information and navigate to those areas in your courses. Modules you might see: My Courses : Access the courses you teach. My Announcements : Displays announcements for courses and from GCU. Announcements communicate important, time-sensitive information. My Tasks: Displays tasks you've added for your students. You can add personal tasks when you access tasks from Tools. You can edit the settings on some of the modules by hovering over the header of the module to expose the settings button. In this example you can edit the module lists visible in My Courses. Check or uncheck boxes to add or remove items from the list of modules in my courses. This can be very handy if you have a number of modules from previous years or you wish to see announcements appear under each course. The changes here only affect your view not the view of your students.
