Blackboard 9: Create a Folder
Posted By Alex Gabriel On March 5, 2010 @ 11:13 am In Blackboard 9 | No Comments
What are Folders?
- The Create Folder feature allows you to create folders which help you organize and sort your course content. Folders make it easier for students to find documents by limiting the amount of scrolling they need to do and by labeling specific content areas.
- There are two main ways of using folders to organize your material; content-based and chronological order. An example of content-based organization is creating a folder for all your lecture notes, another for readings, a third for PowerPoint presentations, etc. An example of chronological order is to create a folder for all Week One materials, another for Week Two etc.
- Note: Items must be uploaded into each folder. Although items (not folders) cannot be dragged and dropped from other areas of Blackboard, they can be copied between areas or courses.
Step 1: With Edit Mode On:
- Click on desired Content Areas (Syllabus, Course Documents, Assignments, etc…).
- Hover over the Build button and click on Create Folder.
