 Navigation in Moodle 2.9 Dashboard is a new name for my home and there are new pages for profile, grades and preferences. Messages can now be sent without leaving the screen that you're working on. This is a dashboard which would normally be the page you come to once logged in unless the administrator has set the front page as the default home page. If the administrator has allowed user preference then you can choose which alternative you want by clicking the link in the administration block. Assignments in the course now will display only when they require attention. Here our student needs to resubmit his assignment and once he's done that this alert will disappear. Messaging has been improved as we can see if we message someone from the online users block. A pop-up appears and once the message is sent we're back on the dashboard or whichever page we started from. Let's now look at the user menu top right. Profile takes us to a new page with links to editing our profile, blog and forum posts and any reports we might have access to. Clicking on browser sessions takes us to see active sessions and this is useful for checking that we logged out of an earlier session and if we didn't we can log out from here. Again from the user menu grades lists the course total grades for students with quick access to their user report in each course and the preferences page is where you can set preferences for your messaging, forum notifications notifications and so on. Manage your external blogs, your badges and portfolios if enabled and subscribe to event monitoring rules if they're enabled.
