Best Practice: Attaching Files

You can add files to your course in multiple 3ways, including when you create course content. 3When you add files to

your course, they are stored in the course st3orage repository: Course Files or the Cont3ent Collection. 2

Frequently Asked Questions

Before I create content, do I have to Gupload all my ifiles into Course Files or the Content Collection?

No. You can add ifiles as you create content. 3You can use thebrowse function to uploadone or more ifiles. If you

upload them into a course area, you do not 3need to upload the same ifiles directly to the 3repository. After creating

your content, you can move your new ifiles to 3diffferent folders in Course Files or the Co3ntent Collection as needed.

Links to the ifiles will not break.

What happens if I want to move a Gifile from one content item to another?

You can reuse ifiles in Course Files or the 3Content Collection. Therefore, you can delete 3links to ifiles in your course,

yet the ifiles themselves remain in the repository,3 where you can link to them again. Also, 3if you modify or move a

ifile to another folder after you link it in yo3ur course, the link will not be broken. A new semester has started and I need Gto update my syllabus ifile. What is the best way to do this?

You can edit and overwrite individual ifiles in C3ourse Files or the Content Collection while 3maintaining the course

links to those ifiles.

Example:Example:

When creating a content item in the Getting S3tarted content area, you create a link to you3r syllabus ifile in Course

Files or the Content Collection. Later, y3ou need to make changes to the ifile. You edit3 a copy of the ifile on your

computer and upload the new version of the sylla3bus to the repository using theOverwrite Filefunction in the

item's contextual menu. The link to the ifile 3in the content area remains intact. When students 3access the syllabus

in your course, they see the revised content. 3To learn more, seeHow to Overwrite a File. What happens when I attach a ifile Gwhen creating a journal or blog topic, or a discussion forum?

When you create content in the interactive tools,3 you can use theInsert Filefunction in the content editor to

include a ifile in your instructions. The system 3automatically uploads the ifiles to Course Files 3or the Content3

Collection in the top-level folder. Later, y3ou can organize your ifiles by moving them to d3iffferent folders in the

repository and the links will remain intact. To 3learn more, seeAbout Files Added Automatically to Course 3Files.

Can I link to a ifile more than once?G

You can link to a ifile as many times as you3 want. If you need to edit it, the change3s will appear in all the linked

instances. To learn more, seeHow to Overwrite a File. If I do link to a ifile more than once,G is there an easy way to keep trackG of where the links are in my course?

Yes. In Course Files or the Content Co3llection, access the item's contextual menu and 3select360° View.You can

view all pertinent information about the item and 3where it is linked in your course. To learn 3more, seeView a File

?B W?;C.

Three Common Ways to Add Files to YGour Course

You can add all types of ifiles to your content3. In our examples, we will add a document 3and introduce three of the

ways you can use to begin building content and 3attaching ifiles. To learn more, seeAdd Files to Course Files.

1. To control where a ifile link appears, use the3 content editor to attach a ifile as you create3 content.

2. When creating content, attach a ifile in theAttachmentssection.

3. Add your ifiles to Course Files or the C3ontent Collection BEFORE you create conten3t.To control where a ifile link appears, Guse the content editor to attach a

ifile as you create content

When you use theInsert Filefunction in the content editor, you can determin3e exactly where the ifile's link

appears within your content. You can also add a3lt text to describe the attachment. Alt text 3(alternative text) is a

short phrase describing any visual components on a 3web page. Alt text is interpreted by screen 3readers and helps

describe what some users cannot see.

You can link to ifiles already in Course Fil3es or the Content Collection -OR- browse 3for one on your computer. Any

ifiles you upload from your computer are saved in 3the repository in the top-level folder. You can3not select the

folder your ifiles will be uploaded to.4

AdvantageAdvantage: You have creative control over how your con3tent appears. If you are adding three ifiles to 3your content

item, you can split them up among the text 3as you want.

ExampleExample: You provide your students with three case s3tudies to read. They must select one to furthe3r investigate. In

the same content item, you can provide an int3roduction and a ifile link for each case study. 3You can use the ifile

name or provide a link title for each.In our example, a link title appears for each3.Files AppearFiles Appear: The links to the ifiles appear exactly where3 you want. As you reifine your content or n3eed to update

material, you can continue to add ifiles, image3s, web links, mashups, and links to multim3edia. You have the

lflexibility to change the order and appearance when you want.When creating content, attach a ifile Gin the Attachments section

As you create content, you can add a ifile 3from your computer quickly and easily. Alternative3ly, select one from

Course Files or the Content Collection.

AdvantageAdvantage: You can upload ifileswhilewhilebuilding your course. You don't have to upload 3your materials ifirst.

ExampleExample: Your students are struggling with the group 3project. You can deliver more instructions and ask3 them to

download a ifile with speciific examples. As you 3create the new content item, you can attach a3 ifile. If it is on your

computer, you can select the folder in Course3 Files or the Content Collection that you 3want to upload it to.

Simply clickBrowse CourseorBrowse Content Collectionto locate the ifile on your computer and upload 3it.

Alternatively, locate the ifile in one of the 3folders in your repository. To learn more, see3Browse for Files in Course

Wifiv Dzw T?>Dw>D T?<.5

File AppearsFile Appears: In the content area, the ifile you uploade3d appears immediately following the title of the 3content item.

You cannot change where the link appears. You c3an use the ifile name or provide another name f3or the ifile.In our

example, the ifile name appears.Add your ifiles to Course Files or the ConteGnt Collection BEFORE you

create content

Upload ifiles and folders into Course Files or 3the Content Collection, either one at a ti3me or in batches, using thedrag-and-drop functionor thebrowse function.

AdvantageAdvantage: In Course Files or the Content Col3lection, you cancreate foldersto organize your content, making it

easy to locate ifiles later.

ExampleExample: You decide to deliver content to your stude3nts using weeks. On the course menu, you add3 links for Week

1, Week 2, and Week 3. In Course 3Files or the Content Collection, you creat3e folders with the same names and6

upload your ifiles. When you create content, you 3can easily navigate to the appropriate folder to 3locate the ifile you

need.7

File Attachments

You can add ifile attachments to diffferent areas in3 your course, such as to a content item, an assi3gnment, or a

discussion board post. Users open a ifile by clic3king a link to the ifile that appears in the 3course.

Locate the ifile you want to attach. ClickBrowse My Computerto upload a ifile from your computer. You can 3also

upload a ifile from the course's storage repositor3y: • If Course Files is the course's storage re3pository, clickBrowse Course. -OR- • If your institution licenses content management, cl3ickBrowse Content Collection.

After selecting a ifile to attach, you may a3dd a name for the link to the ifile. This 3link title appears to users, instead

of the name of the document. For example, 3type "Biology Lab" as the link title inste3ad of using the ifile name

lab_bio_101.doc.

Accepted Characters in File Names

Blackboard Learn allows the use of all character3s in ifile names. However, a user's operati3ng system and browser

may limit the types of characters accepted. For3 example, some browsers do not accept multi-b3yte characters, and

some may not have the languages installed to dis3play the special alphabetic characters speciific to t3hem.Recognized Attachment File Types

The following ifile types are recognized by Black3board Learn. These ifiles can appear within a co3ntent item.

Blackboard Learn can recognize additional ifile types3 and associated applications if a MIME extension3 is added.

Contact your institution to learn more about add3ing MIME extensions. ExtensionFile TypePrograms associated with the File Type
