B. Details & Actions

View course information and tools with these options:

• Roster - All course members appear in the roster. You can't remove yourself.
• Progress Tracking - View your progress on course content, assignments, and tests. 
• Attendance - If your instructor uses the attendance, you can access your records.
• Books & Tools - Displays tools available in your course and the institution.

C. Course Content

All of your course content appears in the main part of the page. When you select a folder or learning module, it will expand to display the content nested in that folder or learning module. When you select an item such as an assignment, document, or link, the content slides out in a panel on top of the Course Content page. Close the panel to navigate back to a previous spot in your course. Progress tracking allows you to keep track of what content you've completed and what you still need to complete.  You can also search for course content by title by using the magnifying glass icon. The icon appears at the center of the right side of the course content page.

D. New Activity

An activity icon, which resembles a blue speech bubble, appears when a new activity occurs in a course conversation for assignments, tests, and documents. The activity icon also appears to indicate new discussions.

Next, check out the Content Pages, as you will be seeing them all throughout your stay in AIM.
