Introduction

The document is probably the most widely used and versatile function of content creation in Blackboard Ultra.  Document files can hold text, uploaded Word files, PDFs, PowerPoints, links to websites, and embedded videos. Document files can also help you and your students focus on specific content, provide instructions for assignments using H5P or Turnitin, and so much more.  Documents also offer an AI feature for generating question banks from your text content used in the file (not uploads or links).  Like anything there are always limitations, however, we encourage you try different methods of utilizing the document function in your courses.  

For instructions on how to create a document file, please see the Blackboard video below.
