The document provides an overview of changes to the user interface and functionality in Blackboard 9.1 compared to previous versions. Some key changes include a new course menu layout with improved organization and customization options for menu items. The control panel is now below the course menu instead of in settings. Content and tools can be added directly from the course menu instead of through specific areas. Assessments are now grouped under a new assessments heading rather than in other areas.
