Introduction<\/h2>\n

The Blackboard Content Collection houses all the files which staff upload to courses and organisations. If you are an Instructor or Assistant on a course, you will have full access to the Content Collection folder for that course.<\/p>\n

The Institution Content area contains folders for Schools and support functions. Permissions to these folders are managed individually. If there is an area which you need access to, ask colleagues in your School or Support Centre (for instance your SDTL or Senior Programme Administrator); or log a Service Desk ticket.<\/p>\n
