This navigation is the experience you have outside of a course. Blackboard has removed all of the Tabs on the page header and Modules and created a static menu on the left-hand side. This new modern interface provides the courses you’ve already created with a simplified navigation experience. Some tools and features have moved to focus on student performance (e.g., Activity stream, calendar due date). Please see the link below and click to find out where Blackboard have moved some of its tools and features.
- Tabs and Modules
- Content Collection
- MyMedia (Kaltura)
- Personal Settings
