Page History

n In AsULearn (Moodle), there are two important elements to the user interface: The the drawer menu on the left (with its associated 3-line hamburger icon for toggling open and closed), and the gear icons that appear on pages in your course. Together, they provide an alternative to the Administration block. Both of these elements make AsULearn more mobile-friendly, and both are context sensitive (: they will change depending on your role, your location in the course, and what resource or activity you are editing). Instructors can use the drawer and gear menus to access all the administrative functionality in the course.
