Why edit menu buttons?
The buttons
on your menu should reflect the structure of your course and work for you. You can
change the name of existing menu options, add menu options for
new areas and hide them if you do not want to use those functions.
Consider
adding a menu option like Due This Week that contains a list of deliverables for
the week. You could also add a menu option/folder for a specific part of your
course, for example, Recent Research or Leaders in Psychology or
Website of the Week.
Change the name of a Menu Option
-
From the Control Panel, go to
Manage Course Menu on the Course Options menu.
-
Click Modify next to
the menu option whose name you want to change
-
Type a new name for the menu
in the
box under the drop down menu and click Submit..
Add a New Menu Option
-
From the Control Panel, go to
Manage Course Menu on the Course Options menu.
-
Add a Content Area, Tool Area,
Course Link or External Link menu button by clicking on the appropriate icon at the top of
the screen.
-
Give the button a name by
choosing one from the drop down list or typing your own.
-
Click Submit.
Hide a Menu Option
When you have
no content that fits under one of the default buttons, hide it from sight. When
students click on a button and get an "Empty Folder" message it looks like the
course is uncared for.
To hide a
menu button:
-
From the
Control Panel, go to Manage Course Menu on the Course Options menu.
-
Click
Modify next to the menu option.
-
Click the
checkmark next to Make available for Student/Participant users So that
the box is not checked.
-
Click
Submit.
