Blackboard - Filename Conventions
When uploading files to Blackboard or attaching files to a Blackboard Discussion Board post, use the following filename conventions:
- Use only letters, numbers and underscores (_) in filenames
- Do NOT use spaces, commas, pound signs (#), question marks, equal signs, parentheses, asterisk (*) or any other special characters
- Do not use periods anywhere in your filename except before the extension
- MAC users must include file extensions after the filename
The following is a screen shot of the error message you will receive if you use an illegal character in the filename:
