Course Files is the file repository available with all Blackboard Learn courses. However, if your institution licenses content management, the Content Collection is the file repository. With Course Files, instructors have access to all of their files for a specific course, not for other courses they teach.
When the content is included, the original course can be removed or recycled with no effect on the copied course. In addition, Course Files is a simplified storage solution. Instructors do not have to think about where they are supposed to store their course content.
