Uploading a media file linked to an html file to Blackboard:
When you upload a file that has links to one or more images, Blackboard prompts you for the image files.
But Blackboard does not prompt you for a sound or video file.
So you must create a zip file, a package containig all the needed
files
in your folder (html, sound, possible image).
Then go into your Blackboard course.
Click Control Panel, then, say, Course Documents, type a title for
your
file, scroll down to File to Attach, click Browse and select the zip
file.
Then click on the down arrow next to Special Action and select
Unpackage
this file. Click Submit. On the next screen, click on the name of the
file
that is your entry
point (e.g., the main document -- rather than an image or sound file.)
When the student singleclicks the file name, Blackboard unzips the file so its components show on the screen.
Close the player with its own control to clear it from the screen.
Alternately, you can upload a media file all by itself to Blackboard:
Click Control Panel, then, say, Course Documents, type a title for your file, scroll down to File to Attach, click Browse and select your media file.
Then click on the down arrow next to Special Action and select Display media file. Click Submit.
