The Course Menu at the top of each course page allows you to access course Grades and Participants. Use the Course option to return to the main course page.

Near the top of the course page is the Announcements archive.  Here you will find a list of all the announcements that have been made by your instructor.  You should have received these announcements via email also, but this is an archive you can access in case you lose the email.

Click on the right facing arrow beside a section name to open that section.  Click on the Expand All link at the top of the course content area to collapse all sections.

Blocks, found on the right side of your screen, are contained within the Block Drawer, which can be toggled open and closed. The Block Drawer can be found on all course sites and on your Dashboard.

To access the Block Drawer, click the green tab located at the upper right of your screen.

To close the Block Drawer, click on the X at its top.
