## Main Menu: new look and feel

*Last update: 19/08/2024*

We are happy to announce a series of updates designed to enhance your interaction with our platform: a redesigned main menu and a [new course menu](https://itslearning.com/blog/product-update-new-course-menu). Our commitment to providing an accessible and modern experience has led us to implement changes to improve usability.

## **Changing for Better**

 

*Accessibility at the Forefront:* We believe that everyone deserves an effortless and inclusive experience. That’s why we’re moving towards a design with **better contrast** and a **more modern look**. 

*Benefits You’ll Like:*

- **Improved Keyboard Navigation Sequence:** reaching everything using your keyboard
- **Enhanced Screen reader Compatibility:** Enjoy a smoother experience with screen readers, making our platform more accessible to visually impaired users.
- **Vibrant Contrast:** Say goodbye to dark purple backgrounds and hello to a brighter, more readable interface.
- **Privacy in the Classroom:** We’ve ensured that personal items are not visible when sharing content in the classroom, respecting the dual roles many of you play as both teachers and guardians.

## **What’s New in the Layout?**

For teachers without additional options, here’s a glimpse of the simplified navigation:

- **Courses**: Access your courses directly through visually appealing **Course Cards**.
- **Update**: Updates page, previously available as a link in the Course Cards page. Now lifted for more visibility and easy access.
- **Groups**: Discover a dedicated page that retains the content from the previous dropdown, including **Hierarchy Dashboards** and **Projects**.
- **User Menu Update:** All personal details associated with your profile have been relocated to the user menu. This ensures that your private information remains confidential during screen-sharing sessions, as it will not be displayed to others.

 

What remains the same?

- **Library**: Continues to be your storehouse of resources, with no changes to its current format.
- **Calendar: **there is no change in this setting

 

The new main menu is now available to all users.  And if you want more information, check out the following pages:
