Editing the Course Menu
Editing the Course Menu
If you are creating a course from scratch you will notice that the old Announcement Page is no longer the default beginning page for your course. Now there is this modular page that contains many different ways for you to communicate with your students.
NOTE: Edit Mode is turned on.
1. 
This button allows you to add areas to the course menu.
2. List View and Folder View: These two buttons allow you to change the look of the menu from a list which you see here to folders which use plus signs to expand and collapse.
3. Opens the left hand side panel in its own window.
4. Refresh: updates the screen with any changes that have been made.
5. & 6. Re-order menu items: Option 2 brings up a window that will allow you to change the order of the menu items or with option 3 you can simply place your mouse on the double sided black arrows and drag the menu item to the position you would like it to be.
7. Contextual menus: Be on the lookout for these all throughout Blackboard 9. Whenever you see them there is a menu available.
Adding Menu Items
Click the grey plus sign button and then click the Create Content Area command in the menu.
Type a name for the Content Area. Decide if you want to make it available to your students and then click Submit.
Place your mouse pointer on the double sided black arrow in front of your new menu item and drag it into the position that you want it.
