content in the Blackboard Learn™ platform with the
new desktop software, Blackboard Drive.

Blackboard Drive provides choice and simplicity in how you

Collection of Blackboard Learn. No matter how you choose to work

saves you time and makes your life easier.

How does Blackboard Drive save you time?
There are two workflows that are streamlined by installing
Blackboard Drive.
can edit files in Blackboard
1 You
without leaving your familiar
desktop tools!
With Blackboard Drive installed, you don’t
have to go to the Blackboard web interface to
edit and manage files you store in the Content
Collection. Blackboard Drive brings all your
files and folders to the desktop by mapping a
lettered network drive on Windows or a shared
volume on Mac. This means you can work
directly from your desktop or with desktop
tools like Windows® Explorer, Mac OS® X Finder
and Microsoft Office and the changes are
automatically reflected in Blackboard.

2 You can edit files faster from
within Blackboard Learn!
With Blackboard Drive installed, editing
files from the Blackboard Learn Content
Collection in the web interface becomes
just a three-step process – open, edit,
save. You will no longer waste time saving
edited files on your computer, locating
them, and uploading them back to the
Blackboard server. This cuts the editing
process in half!
Blackboard Drive for Windows is available today. Blackboard Drive for Mac is coming soon. Contact your Blackboard
Administrator or Helpdesk to find out how to install Blackboard Drive today.
