Add myFiles links To Your Blackboard Course

It's easier than ever to add myFiles links to your Blackboard course. Here's how:

1. In your Control Panel, click the content area to which you want to add links, for example "Course Material"

2. Choose "Add myFiles Links" from the drop-down box at the upper right, and click Go.

3. Blackboard will display the files and folders in myFiles. Check the boxes next to the files you want to add links to. You can even check an entire folder to add links to all the files. Click the "Make Links" button to make the links in Blackboard.

4. Click OK. You're done.

Blackboard will take care of making sure that the students in your course have access to the files in myFiles by setting up "ticketing" in myfiles to allow for access.

KNOWN ISSUES:

1. If any of your files in myFiles have apostrophes ( ' ) in their filenames, the links will not be added to Blackboard for those files. Please rename your files to remove the apostrophes.
