How do I add a code snippet in an Ultra course?
Answer
The Code Snippet feature supports collaboration and assessment across computing disciplines where participants discuss programming syntax. Instructors and students can author and share computer code in Blackboard’s Content Editor using the Code Snippet tool. Instructors can add code to resources, activity starters, and test questions. Students can add code in discussion replies, journals, and Blackboard assignment submissions. Code is not run, but presented for human readability.
