Add a File to a Learning Unit

 

Overview

Blackboard Learning Units enable the Instructor to set a structured path for progressing through the content within a course. Files added to a Learning Unit open as a page within the Learning Unit. Adding files allows Students to view content as a slideshow, without having to click a link to open content.
