Creating and Managing Folders

Create a Folder:

Step 1. Select the add content plus sign where you want to add a Folder. This might be on the top-level Module Content page (below the standard template), or within an existing Folder or Learning Module and select Create, then create folder.

Step 2. Type a meaningful Name and Description so students know what they find in the Folder. 

Step 3. Select the Visibility of the Folder. 

Step 4. Select Save. Your new Folder will be added to the place you selected within your content. 

 
 

Navigating and Managing Folders:

  • Add Content - Select the arrow to expand the Folder and start adding content. You can add Ultra Documents, Files, Links, Discussions, formative Assignments and Tests, or copy content. You can drag content into the order you want it to appear. 
  • Content Visibility - You can select visibility for individual content items and folders within a Folder. You can also add Release Conditions for when the content becomes available to users (e.g. on a certain date or as students achieve a chosen grade). 
  • Folder Visibility - You can change the visibility for an entire Folder. You can also add Release Conditions for when the Folder becomes available to students.
