A recurring issue in the current Online Course Reviews are course menus with a large (and growing) number of links. One way to improve Web Organization is to create a Content Area and group like items in separate folders. The many support links required in a course are a good candidate for this fix.
A recurring issue in the current Online Course Reviews are course menus with a large (and growing) number of links. One way to improve Web Organization is to create a Content Area and group like items in separate folders. The many support links required in a course are a good candidate for this fix.
For example, one Resources & Support menu link opens to a Content Area with three distinct Support folders (click image for detail):
In the example above, the Resources & Support folder contains:
Course Resources - for course specific links, such as FAQs
Technical Support - for everything Blackboard
COM Resources - from Advising to tutoring, etc.
Note the use of the bulleted lists to describe folder content. This is created in the folder Description box using the Edit menu option. Also, be sure to set links to open in a new window under Options.

If you would like any of these support folders placed in your course, please contact Chandra Iwasaki.
