Each course receives a 20 megabyte course quota by default. This course quota is used to accommodate students’ assignments, test, and files. Each faculty member has an additional 20 megabytes available in the Content Collection. To make best use of space, we recommend faculty to use the space in the Content Collection to store the course files (PowerPoints, Syllabi, Assignment Descriptions, etc). From a Blackboard course, faculty will use the option of “Link to Content Collection” instead of “Attach Local File”.
From the Control Panel:
- Choose where you would like your Content Collection item to go. It can go in your Syllabus, Course Information, Course Documents, Assignments, or Resources Content Area.
- Within one of the Content Areas, click the Add Item
button.
- Give the Item a Name and Description.
- When ready to attach a file to your Item, click the Browse button next to the Link to Content Collection item field.
- A window will pop up allowing you to search through your Content Collection to find the file you wish to attach.
- Click the radio button to the left of your file and then click Submit.
- You will receive a reminder that the action you have just done will automatically grant a read access to your students. Click OK.
- You will be brought back to the Add Item page. When you have filled out the rest of the form, click Submit at the bottom of the page.
