Module tabs contain distinct packets of information with data generated from within Blackboard Academic Suite and from outside sources. Module tabs added by the Administrator function much the same way as the My Institution tab—including allowing access to the Tool Panel. Multiple module tabs can be created with content for specific Portal Roles.
Follow the steps below to open the Add Module Tab page.
Step 1 Click Manage Tabs from the Portal Areas section of the System Control Panel.
Step 2 Click Module Tab in the action bar at the top of the Manage Tabs page.
