Find a site

By default, the Courses and Communities list all relevant sites that you are enrolled on. To find specific sites that you need, you can browse, search and filter the site list and customise the page appearance:

Customisation options on the Courses page (described in list)

  1. Layout: select list or grid layout (grid layout contains image thumbnails)
  2. Search courses by module/site name or keyword

  3. Terms: select a specific academic year

  4. Filters: various course types (which aren't used at UoY)
  5. Items per page: Show 25, 50 or 100 sites per page
  6. Favourite sites with the star icon to pin to the top of the default all sites list and any applicable search/filter results.

Tip

These settings and filters are maintained across log-ins and different devices, so you don't have to repeat them every time.

You can also bookmark relevant sites in your internet browser for easy access.

Missing a site you need?

If you can't see a site that you require access to after using the methods above, you may not be enrolled on it.

To be given access, contact the module convenor/site owner or your departmental VLE coordinator.
