Breadcrumbs

“Breadcrumbs” typically refers to the navigational aid on a website or within software applications. They are a series of links usually displayed horizontally at the top of a page or application, indicating the path a user has taken to arrive at the current page or location. The use of breadcrumbs in website design helps users understand their current location within a website or application hierarchy and allow them to easily navigate back to previous pages or sections. 

Breadcrumb Usage

To implement breadcrumbs, utilize Module Templates by clicking on the “+” for a new module and going to “Add from Library.” 

  1. Select the desired breadcrumbs from the listing of various pre-designed modules.
  2. Revise the links and text to create a path back to the College of Education homepage.
