About the Action Menu

By default, the Action Menu is located at the top of each page of content. It contains buttons that help students navigate through the module, and it can also contain links to tools, files and URLs.

There are five buttons that appear by default on the Action Menu. These buttons are used to navigate through the Content Module and cannot be edited.

 

Button	Action
	Takes the student to the previous page of content.
	Takes the student to the next page of content.
	Takes the student to the Table of Contents.
	Takes the student back along the path he or she has visited in the pages of content.
	Refreshes the screen.

You can add links to the Action Menu. These links can appear on the Action Menu of all content pages, or of individual content pages.
