Edit the Navbar

Don't forget to edit the navbar to remove links to tools you are not using in your course offering. Otherwise students might click on a link and wonder why the page is empty or try to remember if a particular tool is being used in a class:
  • Click on the tiny edit icon in the upper-left portion of the course window.
    This takes you directly to the Edit Navbar page.
  • Click on the section of the navbar you wish to edit.
    The Bottom Left Link Area is the only one that has course-specific links by default.
  • Click on the Action button for a link and choose the option to "Remove from navbar."
  • You can also click on the "Add Links" button to add a tool link.

  • Click the Properties tab when done editing links.
  • Type a new name for your navbar and click the Save button.
    This way you can easily identify this navbar when copying it to another course offering.
