My Home Navigation Bar Top of Page

Navigation Bar

The banner at the top of the page contains the navigation bar links. (See image) The top row provides general Learn@UWSuperior tools and links that are not for a specific course, and the bottom row, used mainly within courses, provides course-specific tools.  Always on the bottom, at the far right, is the Logout link.

You can tell quickly whether you are in My Home or in a Course Home page by the information on the navigation bar rows.

In My Home: JDH Library link on the top row, Survey and Logout on the bottom row.

In a Course Home: Locker link on the top row, links to the course features and tools on the bottom row.

My Home Welcome Box Top of Page

The Welcome Box indicates who is logged in and contains links to Preferences, Password, Profile, and Locker. (See image)  If you add a profile image, it will display in the Welcome Box.

Preferences Top of Page

There are five tabs in Preferences - General, Appearance & Accessibility, Language & Region, Discussions, and Email. 

On the General tab (see image) you can select the CD-ROM drive Learn@ UWSuperior will use.

On the Appearance & Accessibility tab (see image) you can change the font and size that Learn@UWSuperior displays information with, use the Preview box to see your changes.  You can also adjust the assistive technology, HTML Editor, and Math Display settings.

On the Language & Region tab (see image) you can specify the first day of the week, continent, and time zone.

On the Discussions tab (see image) you can change the display settings, message list view & style, character limits, and reply settings.

On the Email tab (see image) you are able to add an email signature and show external email addresses in the Address Book.  Because the internal email tool is not set up to store sent e-mails, you will want to select the checkbox next to "Send a copy of each outgoing message to (your username)@uwsuper.edu" if you want to keep a record of your messages.

Note: The emails will come from your UW-Superior address to your UW-Superior address, without showing the recipients of the email.  It will not list of people you sent the email to.

Change Password Top of Page

You can change your password for Learn@UWSuperior here, but it will not change the password for your network account, your UW-S E-Mail or your E-Hive.  Changing the password here is for those with visitor or specialty accounts.  If you want to change all your passwords, go to your E-Hive account and change your password there.
