Blackboard Ultra (Faculty) - My Content: Access Files

Accessing My Content

The "My Content" area in Blackboard Ultra allows faculty to store and manage files, making them easily accessible for use in courses. To access "My Content":

1. From within a Blackboard Ultra course, click the "+" icon under Course Content.
2. Click Content Collection.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Browse Course Collection.
   
   
   
   
4. Hover over Browse, and select the content from the following locations:

• My Content: ecougar (your E-ID) contains your personal folder. This folder is a storage space for files that are not associated with a course. For example, these files could be for a Portfolio, personal files for presentation or research, or course lecture material not found within the course.
  
• Course Content: These folders are automatically created when your course is created. When you upload files to your course (e.g. in the Coursework area), they are automatically added to the Course Content folders. Only users enrolled in the course can see course files unless permissions are changed.
  
• Organization Content: These folders are automatically created when an Organization is created. When you upload files to an organization (e.g. in the Information area), they are automatically added to the Organization Content folders.
• Institution Content: These folders and files are uploaded by departments for faculty use. You will see only folders that you have permission to see.  
• All Content: Open all the content that can found in the collections listed above.
  
  

Note: Files stored in the Course Content folders cannot be seen by anyone in the course until they are linked within the course (e.g. linked in Coursework item). Files stored in the My Content area can only be seen by the individual who owns the content unless the files are shared (either by permission or passes - see articles below for more on sharing).
