Every Blackboard Learn Original course has a Content Collection where course materials such as documents, video files, audio files, or images can be saved in folders and organized for use in the course.

When content is added to your course (in the student-accessible areas of your course), it is automatically added to the Content Collection*, and a link is created in the student-viewable area of the course.

You can add files and folders to your Content Collection in multiple ways, including when you create course content. You can upload a single file, multiple files, or one or more folders to your Content Collection. The contents of folders will be uploaded and appear individually in the upload list. After you upload, you can move them to other folders as needed.

You can upload files and folders into your Content Collection, either one at a time or in batches, using the browse function. Or you can upload the files in packages by first zipping them and then uploading them into the course content collection.
