Creating a Content Folder

Updated on

This guide will demonstrate how to create a content folder in Blackboard Learn Ultra.

It is highly recommended to use Learning Modules rather than folders at your "top level" of content creation. Modules provide students with navigation buttons along with indexed content items for better navigation and content visibility. Think of Learning Modules as "tabbed folders."

Folders are useful within a Learning Module to further organize content, such as a topical Learning Module that spans multiple weeks.
