• Admins always get full navigation trail in breadcrumbs. e.g. Master > 1.Semester > Chapter 1 > Learning how to learn
• Students get enroled into courses. These courses become "my courses" their trail looks like this: My Courses > Learning how to learn

What I've seen in different moodle instances, is that students which are only enroled in a handfull of courses feel very pleased with the current "My Courses" navigation. For them the reduced navigatioin trail is an improvement compared to the long path.

The situation is different with students who are enrolled in many different courses (including different categories).

• They get a long "My Courses" list, including no categories
• E.g. when a student wants to go back one level to the 1. Semester and switch to the 2. Semester he needs to return to the main page or use additional site navigation blocks. He cannot use the breadcrumbs.

--> Would be gread if an additional configuration option was added, to allow each moodle admin to decide which kind of breadcrumbs trail is most suitable for his users.
(e.g. Siteadministration > Appearance > Navigation
Breadcrumbs
x Use Breadcrumbs using "My courses" as root
x Always use full Breadcrumbs trail
)
