Ultra Quick Start: Optimizing Course Quota
Removing unused content and using cloud-based storage
It's that time of the semester -- you are trying to upload another PDF or PowerPoint presentation into your Blackboard course, only to learn you are unable to because your Blackboard course quota is full.
Videos, slideshow presentations, and documents quickly take up course storage. Course content that you have copied from other course sections also wastes your course storage. In this webinar, we will review how you can easily remove unused content from your course and use cloud storage options to upload large content and link to the content within in order to optimize your course storage.
Session objectives:
Define items uploaded to Blackboard that count against course quota.
Use the “remove unused content” tool to free up quota space
Locate large content to delete from Blackboard courses.
Determine which cloud storage options best support videos, slideshow presentations, and other documents.
Create links within Blackboard to content from cloud storage.
This session will be facilitated by Peter Ariev Instructional Design Specialist, and Josh Abrams Instructional Technology Specialist.
