The Content Collection is Blackboard’s built-in document repository. You have a personal, My Content folder to store files outside of courses, and you can have Course Content folders that store all of the files uploaded to your courses. You can store, share, and publish content within various levels of folders in the Content Collection throughout courses in Blackboard Learn. Files can be linked in different areas in a course and items from a course can be added to a folder in the Content Collection.
