The Course Menu appears on the left side of a course and contains links to materials and tools within the course. Instructors can customize the appearance of the Course Menu and the content and tools available to users.
To manage the course menu in your Blackboard course, you will need to access the Manage Course Menu page located within the Course Options area of the Control Panel. The Manage Course Menu page contains 6 options: Adding a Content Area, Adding a Tool Area, Adding a Course Link, Adding an External Link, Modifying, and Removing.
Adding a Content Area
Step 1 : Click on the Add Content Area button. From the drop down box, you may choose one of the common content area names. If the particular one is not listed, you may type the desired name in the text box directly under the drop down box. The content area name should stay under 18 characters in length.
Step 2 : You can modify who has access to the course area as well as availability for users.
Step 3 : Click the Submit button to add the content area.
Step 4 : You will receive a receipt page that notifies you of the addition of the content area. Click on the
button to close the receipt page.
