One can add a syllabus to any content area in Blackboard. To add a syllabus, click on "Edit View" in the right-hand corner of the content area window.

You can present only three main sections in the Syllabus Builder template - the title headings presented can be changed. You can also choose syllabus template colors and backgrounds. Next, if you would like to present your syllabus as Lessons, select this option and the number of Lessons you would like to present.
- Click the Submit button and see your Syllabus template displayed. Change the Syllabus content and Lesson content by clicking on the Modify buttons.
- Enter Lesson content in each lesson section. Lesson order can also be rearranged as needed. You can pick a start and stop date if you want to release lessons throughout the semester.
