Moving and copying content items

without comments

Use the COPY button to create multiple instances of the same item, like a folder you plan on using as a template for future modules.Content items and folders can also be MOVED from one place to another very easily. Just COPY the item to the new destination (folder or content area) and REMOVE the original after you’re sure the item copied successfully. This is helpful during re-development stages, so you don’t have to re-type any content. Content can also be moved from one course to another; just have to change your destination course.

Media such as YouTube videos, SlideShare presentations, or any type of media with an “embed code” can be embedded right into your Blackboard course with some basic HTML editing. Just remember to use the OLD EMBED CODE.
