Summary

The Course Menu is the main navigation menu found in the left (usually green) frame that you see each time you go to a course in Blackboard. You can customize the menu in order to better reflect what you are doing in your course. For example, you can create a link to an external website that is critical to your course, create weekly modules, or eliminate menu items that you don't use.
