Learning Modules have been improved to allow the ability to use folders as well as customize the way in which the table of content displays.

Personalized Grade Center enhancements include filter by category options, and smart views to quickly access grade center data.

3. Course Files Course Files is a centrally located repository on the Blackboard ® server for organizing and storing content. Course Files is accessible in all Blackboard Learn TM courses, and if the content management capability is also licensed, the full functionality of the Content Collection is available through this area. You can move a large amount of content from a local drive to Course Files quickly. Once content is in Course Files, it can be linked to from any place in the course where attaching files is available.

24. Mashups Mashups are a simple way to add multimedia to your course without having to create it yourself. Mashups allow Instructors to add content to a Course that is from an external Web site. This content is used in a variety of ways within a Course: a standalone piece of Course Content, part of a test question, a topic on a Discussion Board, or as part of an assignment. The content displayed in a course will still reside on the external Web site.
