Select the plus sign wherever you want to add content. You can also create and select a folder or learning module and add content to inside of them. Create a new content type by selecting an option from the slide out menu.
 | Learning Modules | Create a learning module to allow students to navigate from one content item to the next without distractions or extra clicks. A learning module can help keep students focused on the lesson or concept. Instructors now have the option to customize the module. Choose to upload an image of your own, or select from Stock images from Unsplash. Additionally, you can auto generate images using the AI Design assistant. |
 | Folders | You can create three levels of folders to organize your content. You cannot add modules to folders. |
 | Documents | Create a scrolling document with text, audio, video and/or images. Combining a variety of materials to view together in one document allows you to present your content on one page for your students. Take advantage of Blackboard’s built in accessibility checker, powered by Ally, to ensure that your content is accessible for diverse learners. |
 | Links | Create a web link or create course links within your course. |
 | Assignments | When you create an assignment, a gradebook item is automatically created. Instructors can create assignments for groups of students where only members of the group may access the assignment. |

| Forms | Forms can be used in a variety of situations to get feedback from students. |
 | Discussions | Provide a link to an online discussion that is related to content for students to share thoughtful conversations. You can also assign groups to a discussion where only those group members can access the discussion. |
 | Journals | Use journals to communicate privately with students. Instructors can grade student contributions. |
