The Content Area is where your instructor will put course information and materials. The design of this area is up to each instructor, but you will see some things in every class. 

The Syllabus

Your syllabus might be a Word document, a PDF, or a page in Blackboard. It might also be in a system called Simple Syllabus, which is a syllabus repository that you will connect to through Blackboard. 

Learning Modules or Folders

Many instructors use Learning Modules or Folders to organize the material in the Content Area. You'll need to click on the down chevron at the lower right-hand side of a Learning Module or Folder to expand it and see what's inside.
