You can request a new password from the mylearningspace web site. Again, on the login box on the frontpage you will see a link called 'Lost Password'. Simply click on this link and follow the instructions. An email will be sent to you asking you to confirm your request for a new password.

6. How do I navigate the site?

 

6.1 Main Menu -
The Main Menu contains the most important links on the site.

 

6.2 Navigation

We have tried to keep the design of mylearningspace simple so most resources or external links will open in a separate window, once viewed these can be closed and the home page will still be there.

If you take a link to one of our courses or resources sections then these will open in place of the home page. To navigate your way back it is better not to use the "back" button on your browser, instead use the breadcrumb trail which appears at the top of the item.

An example breadcrumb trail is shown below:
