In Blackboard, Content Area is intended to be used like a topic or chapter. Of course, you can have as many or as few Content Areas as you want in a course. You can even build a course without using the Content Area tool. In our demonstration, we will use the Content Area tool in the most common way, that is, to organize our course into topics, with one topic per Content Area.
In Blackboard, Content Area is a special kind of course page. Adding Content Area adds a link to the Course Menu. In a Content Area, you can add many kinds of course material, activities, and tools.
Usually, we add a Content Area for each topic or chapter in a course. Use a Content Area when you want to add different kinds of resources and activities to a topic, such as links, graphics, videos, tests, assignments, surveys, and more.
