We have re-designed how search works on the platform and we have now added the ability to search for course content while accessing a course. The Search tab is now located in the navigation menu.

Use cases

• Learners  - locating previous content learned and referencing earlier material in order to complete an activity.
• Course creators - easily finding and linking related content or pages to create visual/learning threads between multiple points of content in courses.

How do I search for course content?

• Search for a keyword on a page or a file name to locate a page.

Step 1

Click on Search located on the navigation menu.

Note: the Search tab is visible to all users regardless of their course role.

Step 2

Enter the search keyword in the pop-up and view the result.

Note:

• In addition to page content, the search bar also supports searching for people within the course. However, it is limited to searching for people in your own courses/classes.
• For learners, it only supports searching for people in the class that they are enrolled in. This means that learners are not able to search for a person outside of their enrolled classes.
• For course staff and administrators, it will support searching for people across all the classes in the course.

Can I search for courses using this search?

The course Search does not search for courses.

• To search for courses you are already a member of, please use the Courses tab on the top bar.

• To search for public courses you'd like to enrol in, please visit the Courses Marketplace or your institution's landing page.
