Know Moodle Structure
Three elements on course front page
Breadcrumbs display at the top of the page, and below the page banner. They show you the route you took to reach this page (e.g. Home > My courses > [course name]). Use these breadcrumbs to return to earlier pages.
By default, a Moodle course page is divided into three columns --- The side blocks and the center sections.
An activity is an interactive content created by your teacher using one of the Moodle tools (e.g.
assignment , chat session).A resource is any type of non-interactive digital content that your teacher has added to your Moodle course.
