Blackboard Assignment Woes

Several of you reported difficulties uploading your assignments to Blackboard this morning.

I emailed tech support and here is their response...

 

Hello Michael,
Here are the parameters for file names that you can pass along: when uploading documents to Blackboard, be sure to follow the recommended file naming conventions. Use: Letters ("ABCabc"), Numbers ("0123456789"), and Underscores ("_"). Avoid: Spaces and Special Characters (!@#$%^&*()<>+='"`~:;,[]{}?/\|).
I will also investigate further and contact our Bb developer - if the file upload is accepted through the content system, it should also work as an attachment.  As you know, the recent upgrade has not been without issues, and there maybe something going on here that requires more attention.  I'll keep you posted.
Linda
