Navigate folders

Course materials can be organized into one or more folders. For example, you may choose to create folders that correspond to chapters in your textbook or eText, or to learning objectives you identify for the course.

The terms "course materials" and "asset" refer to the educational resources that are available in your course. You can browse course materials from a number of course pages, including Course Materials pages and the Gradebook page.

Folder navigation

Folders provide a means of organizing related assets. A folder can hold course materials, such as files and assessments, as well as additional folders. You can work with folders in many ways:

To exit the navigation control, click anywhere outside of the navigation control area.
