My Blackboard Menu Navigation In addition to the left side navigation in the courseroom, you may also navigate to course content areas using the My Blackboard menu. This area provides you a quick view of all activity across your courses and provides additional navigation options for specific areas in your courses.

Note: This area of the courseroom can be confusing for many learners. We suggest you get comfortable using the links in the left- side navigation and the course content pages to navigate the course, before using My Blackboard to move around.
