How To Create Folders
Folders in Blackboard work just like folders on your workstation, i.e., they are used to group and/or organize materials. To begin, navigate to a course page and turn “Edit Mode” ON. An action menu will appear containing several action buttons.
- Click on the “Build Content” action menu button to expose a listing of content types to choose from.
- Select “Content Folder” listed under the “New Page” heading.
- Name the folder and decide when to make it available to students.
- Enter a name for the folder and designate a color for it.
- Enter any descriptive information you may want for the folder.
- Using the “release options”, choose when to make the course folder available to students.
- Click “Submit” to complete the creation process.
Note: You should see the newly created folder in the content area where you added it. To enter the folder, click the link.
