Note: Since Moodle 3.2, the navigation block has been replaced by a navigation drawer used with the Boost theme. |
While the Boost theme does not need the navigation block, other themes such as Clean, the More theme or themes from the Plugins directory might still require it.
If enabled, the navigation block will appear on every page of the site. It contains an expanding tree menu which includes Dashboard, Site Pages and Courses. What appears in the navigation block depends on the role of the user, where they are in the Moodle site, and any settings that have been applied globally. See the screencast The Navigation block.
Here are examples of the navigation block:

Teacher view in a course
An administrator can change navigation settings, such as the default home page, and whether to show course categories in the navigation, in Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Navigation. See Navigation for details.
- One way to make it harder for students to see other courses they are not enrolled in, is to force the Dashboard, and then hide the navigation block.
- This will push all users to the Dashboard on login, where they will see a list of those courses that they are enrolled in.
- Hiding the navigation block will make it harder for them to find the other courses.
FAQ
