Is your list of items under Course Contents getting unwieldy? That often happens this time of year. It makes it challenging for your students to find your information and can be a source of frustration.

Notice in the picture how Rose is organizing her Content folders by novel. Within the fold-ers, she has put all the information and assign-ments relating to that particular novel. It makes it much easier for her students to quickly locate the needed information.

To create a folder within Course Content, do the following 1. Click on Course Content. 2. Under Build Content, select Content Folder. 3. Name your folder. 4. Create or attach items within your Content Folder by clicking on

Build Content while in the folder.
