Part 9—Blackboard Content System

 

 

Overview

The Blackboard Content System is a file repository with several sophisticated features for working with content. It is fully integrated with the Blackboard Learning System and the Blackboard Portal System—making use of a similar interface as well as creating repositories for Blackboard Learning System courses and users.

This chapter reviews how to manage the Blackboard Content System through the Administrator Control Panel.

 

Note: Once the Content System is enabled, the Content System Tab will appear when a user logs into Blackboard. If a user with the role of Administrator selects this tab, he will be treated as a normal user. In order to have administrative privileges for managing the Content System, the Administrator must use the Manage Content option on the System Admin Panel to enter the Content System. This will launch the Content System with Administrative privileges.
