Base Navigation
From the moment you log in, you have access to core features in the list where your name appears. You can easily return to the list from wherever you are—even if you're in a course. The activity stream displays all the action in all your courses.
When you select any link from the list, you see a global view across all your courses. For example, Grades shows all your grading tasks organized by course. No need to navigate to each course to see what's ready for grading. You also can navigate to the Administrator Tools panel from the Base Navigation menu, and the menu remains visible when you navigate from there.
