Tool Box Options

The Tools box provides users with quick and easy access to many course resources including;

• Communication Tools,
• Content System Portfolios, and a
• Course Map to easily locate course content.
  

The Quick/Detail View option may be a new feature to many Blackboard users. It operates similar to the Course Map to allow users to easily locate and access course content. The Quick View is the default setting and displays information in a collapsed list. Choose Detail View to list all content items in the course.
