You can create content that combines a variety of materials to view together, such as text, multimedia, and attachments.
You can create a content item to present a combination of content that serves as a handout or document with visual aspects. You can create content items that are as simple as one line of text or include many elements.
For example, in one content item, you can include introductory text for a lesson, an image for your students to view and interact with, and links to web resources. The materials are all presented together in the content list. The longer your content item is, the more your students have to scroll to see all the other materials in the content area.
Create a document
On the Course Content page, you can create a document or page to present a combination of content. For example, you can include introductory text for a lesson, an audio file of a lecture, and an image. When students select the document title, the materials you added are all presented together on one page. Students see the content just as you see it, without the editing options.
Select the plus sign wherever you want to add a document. In the menu, select Create to open the Create Item panel and select Document. The New Document page opens.
You can also expand or create a folder or learning module and add a document.

New Document page
On the New Document page, use the options to add content. You can add as many text blocks and files as you want.
Upload from Cloud Storage: You can upload files from cloud storage, such as OneDrive® and Google Drive™. When you add a file from cloud storage, the system makes a copy of the file in your course. The files aren't linked. Any change you make to a file within your course doesn't apply to the file in cloud storage. If your browser allows, media files display inline.
- Type a title. On the Course Content page, the title appears as the link students select to view the materials. If you don't add a title, New Document and the date appear in the content list.
- Add text blocks. Select Add Text to open the editor. You can also paste text from a Word doc.
You can also use the editor to embed images and attach files along with your text. To use your keyboard to jump to the editor toolbar, press ALT + F10. On a Mac, press Fn + ALT + F10. Use the arrow keys to select an option, such as a numbered list.
- Add files. Select Upload from Computer and browse for or drag files from your computer, such as a Word doc and an audio file. You can't add a folder of items. You're asked if you want to add the individual items inside the folder. Your institution controls the maximum size of a file that you can upload.

Add Office 365 files.You can embed enterprise Office365 files directly into your content. Select Share in your Office365 file to create a link to the file. Choose which permissions you want the user to have and select Copy Link. This copies the link to your clipboard. To embed the content, select Insert/Edit Media from Web from the editor. Paste the link in Media URL.Select Insert.
- Show or hide the document. Students can't see a document until you choose to show it. You can create all your content ahead of time and choose what you want students to see based on your schedule. You can also set availability conditions based on date, time, and performance on other items in the course gradebook. On the Course Content page, students can see when the document is set to be available.
- Allow class conversations. What if your students have questions? You can allow conversations within a document, and anyone can contribute. Select the Settings icon to open the Document Settings panel and select the conversations check box. As the conversation develops, it appears only with the document.
- Add goals and standards. You and your institution can use goals to measure student achievement across programs and curriculums. When you create a document, you can align one or multiple goals. In the document, select the Settings icon. Select Align with goals to search for available goals to align with the document. Students won't be able to see the goals you align with a document.
- Add an optional description. The description appears with the document title on the Course Content page. Content item descriptions are limited to 250 characters.
Add HTML
Add custom HTML or CSS
In Ultra Course View, when you enable an alternate domain for your site, you can now use custom HTML or CSS in a document. Select Add HTML as a new block to embed an inline third-party HTML editor in the document. You can write or paste HTML code into the editor and select Save. The encoded HTML will be sent to Learn within BbML for persistence. The HTML will be denoted in the BbML with a new data-bbtype. If you load previously created BbML containing HTML in read-only mode, the HTML will be loaded from a separate domain in an iframe.
A new CodeEditor package handles all of the imports required by the third-party editor and standardizes the editor configurations. The package will otherwise simply wrap the editor's method for injecting itself into a DOM element. Directives and plugins that embed the editor on the page will depend on the package.
Your institution needs to have an alternate domain configured for the Add HTML block to appear. If you don't see the block, please contact your site administrator.
Word count in the editor
As you type in the editor, the word count appears below the editor. After you save, the word count no longer appears.
These items are included in the word count:
- Individual words
- Web links
- Text in bulleted or numbered lists, but the bullets or numbers themselves aren't included
- Superscript and subscript text not part of another word
These items and formatting elements don't affect the word count:
- Images, videos, and file attachments
- Math formulas
- Blank spaces and lines
- Alternative text
When you use punctuation to attach words or numbers, the count is affected. For example, "We went...without you" is counted as three words. The words or numbers on either side of the punctuation are counted as one word.
Add more content
After you add your first piece of content, select the plus sign wherever you want to add more content. You can add as many text blocks and files as you want, wherever you want.
Save your document
After you save, the document appears in the content list. You can change the document's content at any time and change the order of the items you added to the document.
In their activity streams, students are notified a new document is available.
Edit, reorder, and delete documents
You can make changes to existing documents and change where they appear on your Course Content page. Press the Move icon in a document's row and move it to a new location. You can also move a document into an expanded folder.
In a document's row, open the menu to select Edit, Conversations, and Delete.
You can use your keyboard to move a document.
- Tab to an item's Move icon.
- Press Enter to activate move mode.
- Use the arrow keys to choose a location.
- Press Enter to drop the item in the new location.
Delete documents
You can delete a document from your course or hide it from students to preserve the information. Students can't access hidden documents on the Course Content page.
Edit documents and media files
Based on the document element, you can move, edit, delete, or download it.
Open an element's menu to access the options. Press the Move icon to move an element to a new location on the document page.
Select the plus sign wherever you want to add another file or text block on the document page.
Media viewing options
If your browser allows, media files you add to documents display inline by default. If your browser can't display a media file inline, it appears as an attachment.
Images that display inline are embedded in a 768-pixel block at the biggest breakpoints. The closer to that size the images are, the less padding appears around them.
You can also add alternative text to describe images you add. Alternative text is read aloud by screen readers and helps describe what some users can't see.
You can edit the file's settings, including the display name, alternative text, and display behavior. Choose whether to insert the file as a link in the editor or to embed the file directly so it appears inline with other content you've added. To edit the file's alternative text or display behavior, select the file in the editor and then select the Edit Attachment icon.
In most browsers, you can select where the files that you open in courses are downloaded. For example, in Chrome, navigate to Settings > Advanced > Downloads. You can select the location for file downloads and choose if you want the browser to ask each time. In Safari, you have the same capabilities. Navigate to Preferences > General > File download location. You can perform an internet search to learn about file download choices in other browsers.
What happens during copy and import?
You can import a course or copy all the content from one of your courses on the system into another course. The new content is added to the end of the content list of the course you're in.
More on copying content from other Ultra courses
When you import Original content or choose to preview your Original course in the Ultra Course View, content items are converted to Ultra documents. All text, attachments, and links that you added in the editor are converted and media files will open inline by default. Files that you added as attachments in the section after the Original editor are grouped together in alphabetical order at the end of the Ultra document. Media files will open inline by default. You can edit images, video, and audio files to change the default and change any file's title. Students will need to download some file types to view them.
More on Original content items
Review the document as you may see some loss of formatting during the conversion process. For example, if you added a title for one of your files in the Original Course View, the title may not appear in Ultra. You can edit the file to change the file name. You can reorder the items in the document as needed.
