Create an Item in a Content Area or Content Folder

After creating a Content Area, you can add content to your course. Content may include videos, readings, assignments, exams, etc. You may choose to add content directly to a Content Area, or within a Content Folder. The steps to add content to either are the same. 

The most common container for content in a course is an Item. You can share a variety of file types and other content in an Item. An Item also allows you to add context for any file you upload.

To add an Item to a Content Area/Content Folder:

1. Navigate to the Content Area where you want to add the Item. If you want to place the content inside a Content Folder, click the Content Folder.
2. Click Build Content.
3. Click Item.
   
4. In the Name field, type the name of the item.
5. In the Text field, add your content. You can type text directly into the Text field, create hyperlinks, link to videos, etc.
   
   
6. To attach a file to your item, under Attachments, click Browse My Computer.
   
   
7. Select the file from your computer or device and click Open.
8. Click Submit.
