How to Save Posted Documents from Your Course

Since instructors may use Blackboard to post lectures, syllabi, assignments, and other course information, it is recommended that students download these course materials.

students may download available files if they have been made available by the instructor, and read them later, regardless of whether they are connected to the internet
convenient for those with slower connections: download a file once, no need to reconnect to read it
