Groups of Pictures in Blackboard

Just saw this exchange on one of the Bb listservs. This might be a good temporary solution for students in classes to share photos... that is if they are given uploading privledges. Personally, I think something like Flickr would be a better solution, but some faculty aren't comfortable using something offsite for storing student work.

Anyway, here's the exchange:

Hi Evan,


The jpeg files are independent and you must have zipped as one file. There are no links between one pic to the other. Suggest, you make an album of the pics (convert the pics as one file), zip it and try uploading in bb.Hope my suggestion helps.

Dear List,



I�m trying to upload a series of photos � I�m starting small, with three simple jpegs � all at once in a single, zipped file. I successfully browse to the files, and then select �unpackage� as the action. Blackboard tells me that everything went fine, but when I go to view the photos, I get an error message with a ton of code. Has anyone experienced this, or better yet, successfully placed a single zipped file containing many jpegs into a particular content area of any Blackboard course?



Thanks in advance for any help.
