Basic Navigation

The first thing you will notice about Moodle 4.1 is that the look and feel have changed significantly. Even the basic navigation is different. For example, your Dashboard is now broken into Dashboard (Calendar, & Timeline) and My courses (your list of courses).

User Tours

There are user tours for a number of pages in Moodle now. The first time you access each type of page with an associated tour, you will automagically be presented withi a small pop-up screen that allows you to either step through the tour or skip it.

If you have skipped the tour (or finished it) and want another shot at it, simply click on the question mark at the bottom right of the page and select Reset user tour on this page.
