Hiding and Collapsing the Course Menu

Blackboard offers users the option to hide the Course Menu so that the area of the course you are viewing takes up the entire screen. While this is a helpful feature, it may cause confusion due to the fact that if you "accidentally" hide the Course Menu, by clicking on the arrow directly to the left of the main page, you will not be able to see your Course Menu. Users also have the ability to totally collapse the Course Menu by clicking on the arrows directly to the left of the course name at the top of the Course Menu.

To Hide the Course Menu

1. Click the < icon on the left side of the main screen.
2. When you are ready to view the Course Menu again click the > icon on the left side of the main screen.

Collapse and Expand the Course Menu

1. To collapse the Course Menu, click the two "upper arrows" directly to the left of the course name at the top of the Course Menu.
2. When you are ready to expand the Course Menu, click the same arrows, which are now pointing down.

This short screencast demonstrates how to hide and collapse the Course Menu and how to un-hide and expand the area.
