This refers to Moodle 3.11 from August 2022 onwards
How to: navigate around a module page
Navigation trail
- Wherever you are in your Moodle module you can always get back to the front page by clicking the module name (third one along) at the top of the screen in the navigation trail.
- Or you could click on the Hamburger menu
and then take the first option in the drop-down menu. 
- You can also get back to your Dashboard where all your modules are listed, by clicking on Dashboard at the beginning of the navigation trail
or on the 'University logo' 
at the top left of the screen.
When on the front page of a module, this menu allows you to jump to a particular section within your module to aid navigation, reduce scrolling and to quickly access relevant resources.
Jump to...
When you are in an activity / resource in Moodle there are links at the bottom. By selecting the an activity in the 'Jump to...' drop down box you can navigate to a section from the list.
You can also move between activities/resources using the Next and Previous links as the bottom of all displayed pages.
Expand central column
There is a 'Full screen' toggle button that allows you to temporarily hide the side columns (blocks) and make the central column fill the screen. This is especially useful when viewing embedded videos and SCORM packages.
Notes on usage:
- If the window is scrolled more than 205 pixels a ‘floating’ full screen toggle appears in the top right of the screen. It disappears if you scroll back up.
- If mobile mode (or responsive mode) is triggered (screen width 768px or less)
- The full screen toggle button(s) disappear as they no longer serve any purpose.
- If you were in full screen mode (with no side block) the side block will now be below the content area (as usual for mobile mode).
- If JavaScript is off there is no full screen toggle button
- If Full screen mode has been triggered it persists until the user clicks the toggle button again.
- The icon changes with arrows point out / in on each toggle
- The toggle button does not appear on the login page
- The side block disappears completely if full screen mode is triggered. It can be retrieved by toggling back to normal screen mode
- Ctrl + Alt + b is an alternative way to toggle screen mode
- Once triggered there is no fixed width, i.e. if you stretch the window across two monitors you will be able utilise the full content area
- It should work on Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge.
