Organizing Content
Courses are populated into Blackboard with a template including a Additional Tools and Resources for popular tech tools and a Course Introduction folder which includes an accessible syllabus template and steps to incorporate features such as a video introduction into your course. You can reorder, hide, delete, or add new items to the course content to customize your student's experience within your course.
Folders
Folders and Learning Modules are both great options for organizing your course content. In fact, when copying content from an Original Course to an Ultra Course, content pages are converted into folders.
You can create two levels of folders to organize your content. Students won't get lost looking for materials, and your content is easier to manage. Also, students can navigate easier on smaller screens when they don't have to search for materials. After you already have two levels of folders, you can't create a third level or upload a folder into the second-level folder.
If you don't add a title, New Folder and the date appear in the content list. If you add no content, an empty folder with the placeholder title appears on the Course Content page.

Learning Modules
Blackboard Ultra Learning Modules are similar to folders, but offer students another option for navigating between content within the module rather than closing out of the content item to return the main content area first.
Modules let students navigate from one content item to the next without distractions or extra clicks. A learning module helps immerse students in the lesson or concept you're teaching. If you use a textbook or other materials as the basis for your course curriculum, modules are an effective and logical way to group content to match the pace of these materials.
Adding Content
From the course content page, you can create new content or organization structures (see Organizing Content), copy content from another course, upload files from your computer, cloud storage, or your Blackboard content collection, or use one of the Learning Tool Integrations (LTIs) such as Kaltura.
