All content in an Ultra course is in the main Course Content area in the center of your course.
To add syllabi, readings, or other general content, click on the plus sign where you'd like the content. 
If your course is empty, that appears in center of your screen near the bottom.
Once you have content in your course, you'll see the plus sign between every set of items
Uploading Files
If your content is saved on your computer, choose Upload.
Locate the material on your computer and double-click it. Once you do, it will upload to your course. You can also drag and drop content into your course, but make sure that the content area of your course turns purple.
Either way, the file will be hidden from students by default. Click "Hidden from students" and change it to "Visible to students" to allow students to see the item.
