Filenaming Conventions for Blackboard

If you are uploading files to Blackboard or attaching files to a Blackboard Discussion Board post, please remember the following filenaming conventions:

  • Use only letters, numbers and underscores (_) in filenames.
  • Do include exensions on filename. The valid extension for a Word document is .doc, PowerPoint is .ppt and Excel is .xls.
  • Don't use periods anywhere else in your filenames except before the extension.
  • Don't use spaces, commas, pound signs (#), question marks, equal signs, dashes or any other special characters in your filenames.
