Blocks

Most pages in the system, including the Home page, will have 'widgets' on the left and sometimes right side of the page, known as blocks. These blocks provide links to other important information and/or functionality. For example, the Home page includes the following blocks: 
  1. Resume Last Module: Takes you directly to the last module on which you were working. See How do I resume the last module I was working on? for more information.
  2. Roadmap: Enables you to open the full roadmap or expand the block to access the last module(s) on which you were working and your roadmap progress. See How do I find my roadmap? for more information.
  3. Need Help?: Provides links to this Knowledge Base, as well as support telephone and hours.

Announcements

The center of the Home page includes announcements from the FPBC.  Click on the name of an announcement to view it.

Additional Navigation Elements


Every page in the system will have 'breadcrumbs' below the page header. You can use the breadcrumbs to easily return to a previous page by clicking on the breadcrumb.

Module Block

When in a module, an additional block will display, the Module block. The Module block will be titled with the name of the module. This block enables you to access each section of the module, as well as view your module gradebook, where relevant. 
IMPORTANT TIP: Note that each time you see a  icon in the system, this indicates a menu that can be clicked on and expanded.
