ISSUE: Blackboard course tile image and course banner image resizing issues

RESOLUTION:

Log into EKU Blackboard site using your EKU email username and password.

On the left-hand menu, click the Courses link then click the course you want to add content to:

Issue: I want to submit a file saved in my Microsoft OneDrive to an assignment in Blackboard

Resolution:

1. Login to Blackboard.
2. Go to the class where you have an assignment.
3. If the assignment is using Google Course Kit, you will also need to sign into your EKU Google account.  NOTE: You should log into the EKU Google Account first.  When you click on the assignment in Blackboard, you'll be prompted to log in.  Click the 'Sign in' button.

1. Add images to test questions

The Bb Test Canvas lets you add images directly to any test question. While you are creating or editing a question, the third toolbar on the Question Text box has a button to “browse” for the image. First, put your cursor in the Question Text where you want the image to appear, and then click the Insert/Edit Image button.

You can make a very nice banner graphic or "header" for your course, to display at the top of the Announcements page. NOTE: If this image isn't formatted correctly, it will not display correctly if a user views their courses in the Blackboard tile view.
