Creating a Folder

Folders enable you to visually group related course content. For example, a folder called Virtual Office could include a chat room for virtual office hours, a discussion topic for posting homework questions, and a content file containing course policies. A folder in Vista is similar to an organizer in WebCT Campus Edition (CE).

2. Click Add Content Link and select Discussions to display its inventory.
3. Select the desired Discussion topic from the inventory and click Add Selected.
