Navigation in Blackboard

A breadcrumb trail (1) is created near the top left of the page as you navigate through a course. This breadcrumb trail, also called breadcrumbs, keeps track of where you have been in a course. Click on any portion of the breadcrumb trail to access that recently visited page.


An ellipsis (...) will be included in the breadcrumb trail if it gets long. Click the ellipsis to see more detail.


Using your browser's back button may work to return to a previous course page, but using breadcrumbs is much more reliable.


Use the course menu (2) to navigate to a location not in the breadcrumb trail.



Blackboard does NOT have Next/Back page navigation buttons.
