I just uploaded a file to Blackboard and when I try to access it, I get an error message. How do I avoid these error messages?
Use the following criteria as a guideline for files you upload from your computer to Blackboard to ensure the files can be accessed:
Filenames should be less than 30 characters.
Filenames should not contain the following characters: comma, ampersand, asterisk, dollar, exclamation point, percent symbols, or other non-alphanumeric or unusual characters.
Filenames should include the file type extension. Some common extensions are: .doc for Microsoft Word documents
.pdf for most scanned readings in portable document format (PDF)
.ppt for MS PowerPoint files
.txt for plain text files
.xls for MS Excel files
