This page is about the original course menu block. For other course menus, see Course menu

The course menu provides navigation between course sections/weeks as a folder that collapses/expands in the standard folder navigation metaphor. Links will take you directly to course section or direct into an activity or resource within each section. It includes links to administration and other often-used tools and can provide an alternative navigation.

It is based on xtree and was developed into a block by Alexis Maldonado at Central Texas College and further enhanced/maintained by Michael Penney's team at Humboldt in California, USA.

For all of its oddities, this course menu has the distinction of being the first attempt to make a structured course menu for Moodle. It's page on the Humboldt State University seems to be dead, however the code is still available in cvs. It has not been updated in a long time and probably will not function.

There is no licensing information available for the block.
