Every Blackboard Ultra course has a Content Collection where course materials such as documents 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.

Files deleted from content areas will also be removed from the Content Collection.

Note: The exception to this is when files, (documents, images, etc.) are added to the course in a test that was added to the course using the Respondus Exam Tool. These files are not copied into the Content Collection.
