6.2 Navigation
We have tried to keep the design of mylearningspace simple so most
resources or external links will open in a separate window, once viewed these
can be closed and the home page will still be there.
If you take a link to one of our courses or resources sections then
these will open in place of the home page. To navigate your way back it is
better not to use the "back" button on your browser, instead use
the breadcrumb trail which appears at the top of the item.
An example breadcrumb trail is shown below:
