How do I navigate in a site?

My Workspace is your individual online workspace. When you first log in, you go to My Workspace automatically. To return to your workspace after visiting other sites, click My Workspace in the upper left corner of the screen. Additional course and project sites appear as tabs across the top of the screen. Click a tab to go to the corresponding site.

It is strongly recommended that you use the site navigation, and not the back and forward buttons in your web browser, to navigate within a site.

Note: If you are not yet a member of any sites, you will see only a My Workspace tab at the top of the screen.

Click the tool's name to go to the corresponding tool.
