TABS: When you log in, the courses to which you belong are displayed as tabs across the top of the screen (within the blue stripe). To enter a site, click its tab. If you belong to more sites than can be displayed as tabs, those sites will be accessible from the More drop-down list.
You can choose to hide sites (e.g., course sites from previous semesters), or reorder them (i.e., choose which sites to display in tabs), using the Preferences tool in My Workspace.
Discussion and Private Messages: Discussion allows structured conversations that are organized into categories. Site participants can post replies to a topic (a "flat" discussion) or to other replies (a "threaded" discussion). A site's owner can also choose whether or not to allow site participants to post their own discussion topics.
You may view Discussion in a row or column layout. This is a personal preference and changes only your view of the Discussion.
