Fixing the Blackboard Learn Course Menu

There is a bug in the Blackboard Learn copy process that occasionally results in a course menu that appears as black text on a black background. This seems to happen most often when you have applied a theme to your course to change its appearance.

To fix the course menu, you just need to apply another theme to you course, and then change it back. You can watch this short video of the process or follow the steps listed below.


  1. On the Control Panel, under Customization, select Teaching Style.
  2. Under the Select Theme area, pick any theme other than the one currently applied.
  3. Click Submit.
  4. Your theme will be applied, and you will return to the Customization page.
  5. To go back to your original theme, select Teaching Style again.
  6. Under the Select Theme area, pick the original theme you wanted to use.
  7. Click Submit
Your original theme is now applied, and your course menu appears correctly.
