Box features a Trash folder, that allows you to recover files and folders that have been deleted.

Deleted items which have been moved to the Trash will still count against your total storage allocation. When items are deleted from a collaboration folder, both the owner and the user who deleted the item will be able to recover the items from the Trash. The item’s size will only be counted against the owner’s storage quota.

Accessing The Trash

To access the Trash, chose ‘Trash’ from the right sidebar on the “All Files and Folders Page” in the section marked “Resources.”

Recovering Items

On the Trash page you have the option to recover or empty the entire Trash folder, or specific items as needed. To empty or recover the entire folder, simply select “Empty All” or “Recover All” from the top of the page. Recovered files and folders will be restored to the location they were deleted from.

To recover or remove specific items from the trash, simply select the check box to the right of one or more items you want to recover or remove and either select ‘Delete’ or ‘Recover’ from the gray bar above the files.

Hiding Column Does Not Hide Grades from Students

Selecting Hide Column from the contextual menu only makes the grade column invisible to those who can edit the Grade Center, not to the students. If you wish to make a grade column unavailable to students in the My Grades tool either choose Show/Hide to Users from the contextual menu or:

1. Select Edit Column Information from the column heading's contextual menu
2. In the Options area Edit Column page, select No for Show the Column to Students
3. Click Submit

Making an Assignment Grade Column Unavailable to Students Does Not Make Their Scores Unavailable

If the grade is for a Blackboard Assignment, even selecting No for Show the Column to Students will not prevent the student from seeing the number of points earned when they view the Assignment page itself. Either make the Assignment unavailable or create a separate column to enter grades for said Assignment.

Hiding a Student Does Not Make the My Grades Unavailable to That Student

Selecting Hide User from the contextual menu next to a student's name only makes the user invisible to those who can edit the Grade Center.  My Grades cannot be made unavailable on a user-by-user basis, only course-wide.

The whiteboard in Blackboard Collaborate only accepts PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentation files and image files (.gif, .jpg, and .png).

Note: Only Moderators have access to Load Content. To give a student the permission to upload view: Grant Moderator Privileges to Participant.

1. Click on Load Content at the top right of the Blackboard Collaborate window
2. Browse to your file and click Open

Notes:

• You must have the application that can open the presentation file installed on the computer from which you are uploading the file (e.g. PowerPoint or OpenOffice). Blackboard Collaborate actually opens the presentation and takes snapshots of the slides. If you have animated transitions they will not work in Blackboard Collaborate.
• You can only import PowerPoint, OpenOffice presentations and image files (.jpg, .gif, and .png only), not files from other presentation applications, or Word documents, or PDFs, etc.
