Tags: Blackboard, Ultra, Course Content, Reorder

You can easily organize your course by rearranging Learning Modules, Folders, and items using drag-and-drop or keyboard controls.

🔄 Reorder with Drag‑and‑Drop

  1. Go to the Content section of your course.
  2. Hover over the item you want to move (Module, Folder, or item). The six-dot grab icon (⋮⋮) will appear.
  3. Click and hold the icon, then drag the item to a new position:
    • Move items up or down on the main page.
    • Drag items into or out of folders or modules.
  4. Release to place the item. Moves are saved automatically.

♿ Reorder Using Keyboard (Accessible)

  1. Tab to the item’s move button (six-dot icon).
  2. Press Enter to activate move mode.
  3. Navigate with the arrow keys to select the new location.
  4. Press Enter again to drop it in place.

✅ What You Need to Know

  • No need to remove and re-add content to rearrange.
  • Blackboard Ultra supports up to three nested levels (e.g., Folder → Module → Item). Additional nesting may be enabled—check with your admin.
