Manage Course Menu

Blackboard provides you with a default menu of items that can be changed, removed or re-ordered. To provide maximum flexibility, Blackboard allows you to modify the default menu to reflect the areas of Blackboard you are using. You can also add a new Content Area, Tool Area, Course Link or External Link directly to your course menu.
