Establish Clear Navigation

Students are more likely to be successful when they understand how a course flows and how to maneuver in a course. In best practices, a course will open to a course home page that provides students with a course introduction and instructions on how they will maneuver consistently within the course.

Students will be able to navigate your course and follow a logical progression through units/modules. The course will be organized in the order it is intended to be used. A course Front Page (home page) will include either a “Start” button or directions to follow by clicking the Modules link. Unused/unnecessary links will be disabled in the navigation menu options Links to an external site..
