Saving in Blackboard

Saving from Blackboard can be simple.

  1. Log onto Blackboard at http://bb.elmhurst.edu.

  2. Under "Courses in which you are participating," click the link of the desired course.

  3. Right-click on the link of the desired document you wish to save.

  4. A menu will appear. Click "Save Link As..." (this text may vary depending on your browser).

  5. The "Save As" dialog box will appear. Select where you would like to save the file, and click "Save."

Depending on which web browser you're using, and what kind of document you are trying to save, you may run into unexpected errors (for example, you may be able to save a PowerPoint presentation only as a web page). Please see Differences Between Internet Explorer and Netscape in Using Blackboard for more insight into these problems, and some suggestions for working around them.
