Students access their course related announcements from the My Announcements box on the Course Home page or from the Announcements link in the course menu (if present). NOTE: If there is no Announcements link in the course menu and you want to find out how to add one, see separate guide Add Menu Item Create Tool Link.

This may be appropriate for some types of announcements eg Welcome messages. To move an announcement: hover your mouse over the announcement. Click on the double headed arrow (the hold and drag arrow) that appears to the left of the announcement and hold and drag up or down.

Click on any course links you have added to make sure they open without issues. Copyright 2011 Northumbria University. Page 3

9 Add A Folder When adding content to your elearning Portal course you will probably want to organise it into folders in order to create a logical framework within the course, to which content can be added.

This will help students navigate through the materials and reduce confusion. Detailed instructions 1. From the Home tab, click on the link to the required course in the Course List box. 2. Ensure Edit Mode is switched to ON (top right of screen). When edit mode is switched off you will only see the student view of the course. 3.

12 Add an Item The method of adding content described in this guide is similar to the Add Item option that was available in Blackboard 8. It allows you to upload a file and add some descriptive text about the file, so students understand why they need to look at it. Detailed Instructions 1. From the Home tab, click on the link to the required course in the Course List box. 2. Ensure Edit Mode is switched to ON (top right of screen). When edit mode is switched off you will only see the student view of the course. 3.

16 Add Web Link It is very easy to add links to websites from within an elearning Portal course but you do need to take a little care with copying and pasting the correct web address (URL) and you should make sure that you open any external websites in a new window. Detailed Instructions 1. Open a new tab or a new browser window and navigate to the website you want to use. Right-click in the address bar and select Copy to copy the URL to the clipboard. 2.

You can leave all options at their default settings including Yes to Permit Users to View this Content. Selecting No would prevent students from viewing this item. NOTE: Open in a new window should always be set to Yes as it makes it easier for students to navigate back to the elearning Portal after viewing the linked page. There are also important copyright reasons why external websites should always open in a new window.

NOTE: When copying content in a module site from one year to the next it is not necessary to copy these Settings. NOTE: Selecting the Tests, Surveys and Pools option will copy across any tests, surveys or pools. However it will copy them to the Test Manager, Survey Manager or Pool Manager under Control Panel.

When you select the option to include copies of the course files, clicking on the Calculate Size button will display the size. This will ensure you do not exceed the maximum package size allowed for copying. To reduce the package size, click the Manage Package Contents button and remove any files you don t wish to copy across. 13. The Remove Files from Package page appears. Select the files you wish to remove and click Submit. 14. In Section 4 please DO NOT select Enrollments. Copyright 2011 Northumbria University. Page 27
