New File Size Limit for Videos Uploaded to Blackboard
|
鶹Ʒ has limited storage available for files in Blackboard, and a recent rapid increase in file storage has placed us too close to our storage quota. Thorough analysis has identified video files as a major factor in that increase. As a result, we are .
Effective Aug. 5, video files 300MB or larger cannot be uploaded to Blackboard. This limit applies to both faculty and students. These files can instead be uploaded to Kaltura and embedded into a Blackboard course(by faculty) or submitted to a Blackboard assignment (by students). Faculty and students can also upload larger video files to or and them via a link. Both options also provide a better experience for students on a mobile device or slower internet connection.
Reach out to the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning at citl@niu.edu or with any questions about sharing videos with your students or collecting videos from students for assessments.
