Chapter 6
Manage Course Menu
Instructors have the option to change the names and number of buttons that appear in the student view of a Blackboard course site. Instructors can rename buttons to apply to specific course materials, and they can add or remove as many buttons as they wish.
It is strongly recommended unused buttons be disabled, not removed, so as to eliminate them from student view.
To Edit the Course Menu:
- In the Course Options area of the Control Panel, click "Manage Course Menu."
- In the next screen, you can "Modify" existing buttons or, "Add" new areas: Content, Tools, Course Links, or External Links.
- Click "Submit" after a change is made.
- Click "OK" to acknowledge the receipt of your changes and return to the "Manage Course Menu" screen.
- Click "OK" if you wish to return to the Control Panel.
Instructors can rename buttons or control who has access to a specific area of the course by clicking the "Modify" button to the right of a button name. Instructors can also remove any buttons that they do not plan to use; however every course must have an "Announcements" button to ensure functionality
DO NOT remove or disable the "Announcements" button as it will disable any subsequent entry into the course by anyone.
