Bb Vista and Relative Resource Manager

Because it's database-driven, Blackboard Vista doesn't use real paths like WebCT Campus Edition did. Instead, it uses a "relative resource manager" to refer to the current Vista course section's root folder. Use the following URL to refer to the root of a particular course section:



/webct/RelativeResourceManager/Template/



Custom Links in the Course Tools Menu


If you need the entire URL (e.g. for custom links in the Course Tools menu [Manage Course > Add Custom Link]) simply add the server URL before the relative resource manager:



https://online.uen.org/webct/RelativeResourceManager/Template/


...and append your filename:



https://online.uen.org/webct/RelativeResourceManager/
Template/myfile.html
