About the Editor
The editor appears in most places where you can add content, including discussions, tests, messages and more. You may add and format text, embed images, attach files, upload videos via Katutura Media, and insert equations, links, and tables.
For more information go to the Blackboard Ultra Course View: Add and Format Content support page or watch the Use the Content Editor tutorial video.
Work with Text
Use the text editor to format your text style, font, size, color, etc. You may add tables, format your paragraph, add lists (bullets, numbering, etc.), and more
For the best results, type your text directly into the editor and use the text options to add your formatting. You may copy and paste from a document (such as Word or Google), but this may cause formatting issues including jumbled fonts, odd spacing, sizing issues, etc. If you do copy and paste into myLesley, use the Clear Format option to remove the formatting. You will then need to reformat your content using the editor.
Add Links
Use the Insert/Edit Link button in the editor to add links.
Enter or paste the link URL and add the link text. As a best practice, when creating a link you should ensure that your link conveys clear and accurate information about the destination. For example, instead of linking to the text Click here, include the full title of the destination page, such as Lesley Technical Support Site.
