Join Patrick Crispen for an in-depth discussion in this video Organizing content into folders or structures, part of Blackboard Essential Training.
In the chapter on Customizing your Course Site, we talked about how…to organize your Course Menu and even how to add a course structure.…I want to go back to that and add one more thing, Content Folders.…One of student's biggest complaints about Blackboard…is that many instructors just go to the…default Content area and then just dump files…without any sort of pedagogical structure or logic.…You end up getting a giant,…unorganized folder with dozens of files.…And it's almost impossible for students to find what they're looking for.…
By the way, you may have noticed, I've gone back to…this folder and erased the files that we uploaded in previous chapters.…I've did this so that we can start from scratch.…Before you begin uploading any content to…your Blackboard course, PowerPoint files, Microsoft Word documents,…Adobe Acrobat files, and so forth, take a moment to figure out how you want to…organize that content.…Your goal is to create an easy to follow outline.…You could do it by Content type, Handouts, Readings, Assignments.…
