WebCampus Interface Overview

Please view the following video for a brief overview of the WebCampus interface, Global Navigation Menu, and Settings.

Global Navigation Menu

The Global Navigation Menu in WebCampus is "global" in the sense that it is visible everywhere in WebCampus . You can see it now: it's the blue column on the far left with the University logo at the top. Each of the icons in the menu are links to frequently used WebCampus features. These links provide access to all of your courses collectively. Default links include User Account, the Dashboard, Courses, Calendar, Inbox, Commons, and Help (at the bottom).

Dashboard

The Dashboard is the default entry page into your WebCampus account. Here you’ll see information about your current courses, as well as your To Do list, which includes any grading you need to do in any of your classes. Below this, you will see events Coming up in the next seven days, which is pulled from your calendar. As an instructor, you may not see much here, but students will see upcoming assignments in this area. You can also access Grades from the sidebar.

You can return to your Dashboard from anywhere in WebCampus by clicking the University of Nevada, Reno N logo in Global Navigation.

Getting Help

If you have any difficulty navigating the WebCampus tools and menus, you can get help by using the Help link at the bottom of your Global Navigation menu.

There are a few options for getting Help in WebCampus. By clicking on Help on the global navigation menu, you are given two options. First, you can search the Canvas Guides, which contain step by step information on working with all aspects of the learning management system. This is a great place to start with questions you may have about how to work certain tools or how to adjust specific settings. If you believe that the system is not working correctly, you can also click on Report a Problem to let WebCampus know; however, before reporting a problem, we’d recommend contacting IDT at 682-6798 or idt@unr.edu to see if we can help.
