Embedding Screenr
Screenr is a web based screen recorder that is able to create and share screencast movies. You can use the embed code to place your screenr movie into your Blackboard course using some basic HTML editing. Remember, use the OLD EMBED CODE.
Moving and copying content items
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.

Just remember to use the OLD EMBED CODE.
