Why can't I see the sidebar for my Original Blackboard course?

If you're accessing your course from a mobile device or tablet or from within a small browser window, Blackboard will collapse the sidebar by default. To expand the sidebar, click the blue area at the side of the screen.
If you don't see the blue area to expand the sidebar, try enlarging the browser window.
You might also want to check that your browser window is not zoomed in as this will also cause Blackboard to hide the sidebar.
If you are on a mobile device, tablet, Chromebook, small laptop, or do not have your browser window open to the full width of your display, please review this FAQ -> How do I find the Blackboard course menu on a mobile device?
You can also manually hide or unhide your course menu in an Original course.
