3.0 Page Layout and Blocks
Course pages in UNIEC are arranged in a three‐column format. The two side columns are made up of
small boxes called blocks. Blocks contain extra information of the content contained in the centre of
the page. Some blocks help you to navigate more easily.
There are two ways to access your course resources and activities:
1) The first is through the main content area (the middle of the page).
2) The second is to use the Navigation block.
