You are here:

• Before uploading items, think about how useful it will be to your students. Also consider whether all students will be able to access. Some students may not have fast Internet connections or the necessary hardware or software in order to view an item. Make sure they are aware of this.
  
  
• You can upload executable files. This is handy if your students will need to access a certain program.
  
  
• Some of the media formats that can be supported include GIF, JPEG, MPEG, Quicktime, AVI, WAV, AIFF, and Shockwave Flash. MP3s are not supported.
  
  
• PDF documents (such as articles) can also be uploaded. However, any items must follow the rules of fair use and copyright as established by the college. See the handout Copying for Teaching Purposes for more information on this topic.
  
  
• Course cartridges offered by Blackboard are not supported by the library or the college. If you choose to use them, you will do so on your own, and the library will not be able to provide much technical assistance.
  
  
• In order to ensure that your uploaded items are used for classroom purposes as intended, make sure that your course is not open to guests. You might also consider making sure that the item uploaded is available only for a limited time.
