What is a course cartridge?

Course Cartridges are comprehensive collections of publisher-created content, available for import into Blackboard course sites. Content in Course Cartridges varies and may include slides, documents, quiz banks, lists of relevant links, and other materials.

Once the materials are downloaded to the Blackboard course Web site, instructors are free to customize the content by adding and deleting materials as needed to correlate with the course objectives. Course Cartridges can serve as supplements to already-existing online courses or provide an excellent starting point for faculty who are just beginning to develop their online courses.

Instructors download Course Cartridges through the Control Panel of their course menu:

Control Panel>Packages and Utilities>Import Course Cartridge>Enter Instructor Download Key
