Video files are accepted by the Blackboard Assignment assessment tool.\u00a0 These submission points look like this: How long a video file takes to upload will depend on various factors, in particular how large the file is how fast your internet connection is. Expect video files (and other large files) to take at least five minutes to upload and possibly much longer; they might also take more than one attempt to upload, particularly if you have an unreliable internet connection.\u00a0Therefore, leave yourself plenty of time before the deadline &#8211; if you\u2019re unsure, ask for help. Video file types: Extension File Type Programs Associated with the File Type AVI Video Video player &#8211; Windows only MP4 Video Video player MPG, MPEG Video Video player MOOV, MOVIE Movie QuickTime\u00ae\u00a0movie MOV Video Movie or media player QT Movie QuickTime\u00ae RAM Video Real Audio Movie\u2122 &nbsp; Although all these file types are accepted your lecturer may request a specific format.\u00a0 Not all markers will have access to platform-specific tools such as QuickTime. MP4 files are most widely acceptable for play back purposes. Uploading to a Blackboard Assignment To upload large video files to a\u00a0Blackboard assignment\u00a0follow the usual steps: open the submission point, select &#8220;Browse Local Files&#8221;, select file and submit. Files in the range of 600Mb to 1Gb can take more than five minutes to upload, even from a wired internet connection &#8211; and much longer if you are using Wifi. Please Note: There is no progress bar to reassure you that the upload is underway. The only visual prompt is a blue border around the Submit\u00a0button: Don&#8217;t be tempted to click the Submit button more than once. Do not close the window or navigate to another page until you see the confirmation message or an error message. Upload Fails If an attempt has failed it may automatically return you to the submission page; or open as if successful, but the submission is not showing and the page is blank: In this case you can click on the Continue button.\u00a0 It will return to the submission page where a second attempt can be made. \u00a0Key Considerations: Use wired internet connection when submitting video file if available, or ensure your WiFi connection is strong and stable Don&#8217;t leave it to the last minute. Video files can take long time to upload or fail to upload if the internet connection is poor.","og_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support-for-students\/2021\/03\/24\/blackboard-assignment-uploading-video-files\/","og_site_name":"Blackboard Help for Students -
