Large submission files (typically over 100MB) are not suitable for uploading directly to Blackboard. Please follow these instructions to share your submission from your UWE OneDrive and then submit a link to the file in Blackboard.
We would advise that you carry out a test run of this process before your final submission, just to be sure it is all working as you would expect and you are familiar with the process.
- Prepare your assessment for submission. If the submission has multiple files or folders, you may want to create a single zip containing all of the files.
- Upload the file to your UWE OneDrive. Do not use a personal OneDrive or any other cloud storage provider.
- Click on the three dots to the right of the filename and select Share.
- Click on the cog icon on the Copy Link button and set the share permissions to People in UWE Bristol. Do not set an expiry date, password or block downloads.
- Select Apply, then Copy Link which should automatically copy the link to the clipboard.
- Follow the normal Blackboard submission process but instead of browsing to a file, in the Submission text box paste the copied OneDrive link.
- Select Submit.
- Check your receipt in the Blackboard Coursework area - from the receipt select View Full Submission which should contain your OneDrive link. Make sure you can open the link to your OneDrive and your files.
Important Note: After the due date, you must not move, delete or edit the file, or your submission be be invalid. For this reason, we would recommend storing your submitted files in a clearly named folder in your OneDrive so that you know not to edit after submission.
