Items and Folders are two of the most basic types of content that you can add to a Bb Learn content area.
A content area in a Bb Learn course section is a webpage that has the "Build Content," "Assessments," "Tools," and "Partner Content" drop-down menus at the top.
The name of your content area will likely be different than "Course Materials."
Again, your content area will likely have a different name than "Course Materials."
In a Content Area, you add, well, content. Like Items or Content Folders (from under "Build Content") to add text, web links, images, files, and folders. Assignment and test submission links appear in Content Areas as well.
If you need to create a content area, see:
An Item is a section of a content area with a name, text, attached/embedded images, files, and web links.
