 The administration block is a fixed block that you'll see everywhere in Moodle, it might be on the right as here or on the left according to your theme. What you see in the administration block depends on your privileges on the site and also within a course. As a regular course teacher on the home page, the front page, you should see your profile settings in the administration block and this will expand to allow you to edit your profile, change your password and other tasks. For example, if you click messaging, here you can decide how you'd like to be alerted notifications of various activities in Moodle and this is useful to check whether you want to be emailed or have pop-up notifications. Within a course, as a teacher, you see much more in the administration block as we'll see here. If we scroll down to the administration block now as a course teacher, as well as the profile settings at the bottom, you have a link to switch your role to different roles, primarily a student or a learner as we've called it here. Clicking here would re-display a course page or an activity from the point of view of that role. This is useful as a teacher if you want to check things work for your students. We also have a course administration link to enable us to edit the course settings, to check users and enroll them and deal with groups and to look at other things such as grades and badges. Some of these we will look at in later videos.
