A new solution has been integrated with Blackboard which will allow students and staff to upload media files (currently up to 2GB in size), such as video assignments and video or audio feedback, safe in the knowledge that the files are stored securely.

Other benefits include:

• files are uploaded to a central publishing point and delivered back as streamlining media
• content is automated transcoded to work across all devices from with Blackboard
• submitted work is accessed via the Grade Centre, enabling staff to view or listen to student video or audio assignments and provide feedback without leaving Blackboard

This will mean a change to the process for staff and students when submitting media files, so guidance including screencasts is now available in the Submitting Work Online section of Assessment Essentials. Students can access video guidance in the Submitting Work Online section of Assessment4Students.

Your local Faculty TEL Team have been trained on this solution and are on hand to support colleagues.
