Is it possible to upload a video presentation to Blackboard for student viewing?
The answer is “it depends.” For video any longer than a few seconds, our district would really need to save video files to a streaming server, which we don’t currently have. If the video clip is not very long, you could check to see if the file type is on the list of file types supported by Blackboard and then try to add the file within a content area. However, even if you can add the file to Blackboard, note that the display area will be very small, which will not allow too much detail. Actually, I would recommend that you visit Media Services to find out if you could get it duplicated for your students. That way, they could have the benefit of viewing in full screen and you wouldn’t have to worry about students who only have dial-up. I want to post a PowerPoint file within Blackboard.
