Blackboard have just released one of the most impactful enhancements in course design with Document pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Document pages are a great way to create and present a variety of visual elements.\u00a0The good news is that they are now even easier to create, and the new content designer gives you more options on how to lay out your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new content editor, you can now place content side by side without the need to insert a table first, simply drag and drop content or use the menu commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you create a new document page you will now be presented with a menu like the one below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Empty<\/a>

It is advisable to chunk your content into separate blocks in order to take advantage of the new layout features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing document pages will remain as they are but once you click edit you will be able to utilise the features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
