Blackboard Information for Students

Current Issues

Naming Issue for files in the Digital Drop Box or attachments to Discussion Board

Note - Is your professor using the Digital Drop box? Please don't hand in assignments with a "#" in the filename! Your professor will not be able to read them. This also seems to be true for attachments to Discussion Boards or any other types of uploads to Blackboard.

For example:

• Assignment #4.doc - BAD NAME - your professor won't be able to open this
• Assignment 4.doc - fine

Test Timer Issue

Does the Timer sometimes cover up your Submit button so you can't submit your quiz or test? See this article on 3 ways to avoid this happening.
