Not all the menu options will be available and some may be added, but you will probably see most of the following:

Home will always take you to the default homepage for your course.
Modules will give you an overview of all the Modules and items in them for your course.
Announcements will take you to any key communications for your course. Keep an eye on announcement as they will contain essential course information.
Assignments are where all Assignments, Discussions and Quizzes relating to your course are located.
Discussions will take you to any Discussions you are a part of. Discussions can be used for anything from general communications to focussed group discussions.
about an upcoming piece of work.
Quizzes will take you to any online tests or surveys for your course.

Additional Course Navigation menu items:

ORLO is Oxford Reading Lists Online and will be available if your lecturer or tutor has enabled it, otherwise they will update you on how to locate your reading lists.
Panopto will be shown if enabled by your course and will take you to any recordings that exist for your course.
