These are designed for quick navigation to main areas of information on MY MHCC.

Context AreaContext Area

This is the controllable area that holds the portlets. They are mini-applications inside MY MHCC portal.

PortletsPortlets

Mini applications: calendar, announcements, forums, groups, custom, etc.

What’s a portlet, you ask?

Each one of these areas is a special application.

You can erase the ones you want and add others. That training will come in another session.

For example, this calendar. Each course will have its own. And your students will automatically be able to see it.

SidebarSidebar

Now the sidebar will navigate you to the same places as clicking on the individual portlets. Quickly!
