When you enter your Blackboard course you are presented with a list of links in the navigation menu on the left side of the page. Instructors can modify these links by changing the link names or eliminating unused links. Instructors have the option to include up to 10 different areas for each course.
The Course Menu may contain any of the following types of links:
- Folders that hold course information such as Course Documents or Announcements
- Specific items such as a course syllabus
- External Links which link to URL's outside of the course
- Course Links which link to other areas within the course
