10-100 Managing Tools in the Toolbar

Overview

With the Toolbar, tools can be accessed centrally independently of the course elements present. Access to the following tools can be configured in the toolbar settings: Course search, Course calendar, Participant list, Participant infos, E-mail, BigBlueButton online meetings, Blog, Wiki, Forum, Folder, Course chat and Glossary. The tools correspond with the respective course elements (Participant info = Notifications), but they have limited configuration options compared to the course elements.
