There are serious problems with the Podcast LX tool now in Blackboard which means we have had to disable it.  Many individuals were using it as a way of uploading audio files to their site rather than as an actual podcast their students would download from outside of Blackboard.  Since Blackboard now contains an easy way to upload audio files to a site (see further instructions), we feel confident that disabling Podcast LX should not negatively affect the teaching and learning approaches you can use with your students.

Please note that you can also attach audio files of up to 20MB in size to an item in your Blackboard site as you would with any other file.  Some staff in HWB have reported problems with the audio player embedded in Blackboard not playing correctly.  Attaching the audio file in an item should help resolve this error.

Faculty e-learning advisers will be contacting those individuals who previously used the Podcast LX tool to support them in the transition. We apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause you.
