What is a Folder in Blackboard?
Content Folders and Learning Modules are the two types of containers you can use to organize course content. Within a Folder or Learning Module, you can hold files, documents, tests, assignments, discussions and many other content items that you can learn about here. To learn more about Learning Modules, refer to Creating a Learning Module in Blackboard Ultra.
Blackboard Ultra offers up to three levels of content; this means it is only possible to create two levels of folders, and the third level would be the course content within the folder.
How do I create a Content Folder?
- In the Course Content area, locate where you would like to create a folder and select the plus sign > Create.
- On the Create Item panel, select Folder.
- Edit the name of the folder by selecting it or using the pen icon.
- If desired, change the visibility and add a description. When you are ready, select Save.
- To add content to a Folder, click into the folder and select the plus sign > Create to continue to add content.
