A short tutorial introducing the Blackboard Learn 9.1 module interface in Edit Mode. This tutorial is part of initial VLE training for colleagues at the University of Leeds.
6. Contextual help is on by
default; you can switch it
off by selecting the
question mark. You will
need to select the
question mark again in
order to switch it back on.
7. Breadcrumbs are a set of
links which display where
you are within a module
area; these are active
links you can click on to
navigate around the
space more efficiently.
9. Grey square icons act as a
visual reminder that
Content Areas are not
visible to your students. By
default, new content areas
added to the module menu
will be unavailable and
therefore hidden from
students – there’s no point
clicking on a link to find an
empty page. Remember to
make Content Areas
available when ready.
12. More edit
options become
available when
you hover your
mouse across
the interface;
you can also use
the Tab key. The
little arrows
which appear
are called Action
Links.
13. From the + icon above the
module side menu, you
can add more Content
Areas, tools and features.
16. Let’s take a look at a
Content Area in Edit
Mode. This one is called
“Learning Resources”. A
Content Area is a folder
or container.
17. The dark grey bar below
“Learning Resources” is called
the “Action Bar”. Hovering the
mouse over “Add Content”
reveals all the available tools.
More tools are available under
the headings “Assessments”
and “Tools”.
