How do I edit my profile, set my email preferences and add a picture?

Once you have logged into the Online Learning Center, you can access your profile and preferences by clicking on your profile picture or profile name and then profile (which you can see at the top right of the screen).  Then click on 'Edit Profile' to change any details of your profile.

How do I navigate within a Course?

There are a number of ways to move around a course. The recommended method is to return to the homepage of a course to navigate the materials contained within the course. Then there are two useful navigation tools as follows:

Breadcrumbs: The breadcrumbs are a trail showing the pages you have passed through to get to your current location. They are shown in the top left corner of the page you are on and clicking on them will take you to that point in the course.

Navigation Menu: The navigation block appears on every page of the site. It contains an expanding tree menu which includes Dashboard, Site Pages and My Courses. When in a course, this link expands to show each section of the current course and any activities/resources which are in that section.
