Adding a Camtasia Project to Blackboard Vista Tip

Marcia Williams just sent me this message with an important tip on adding projects to Blackboard Vista:

I created a Camtasia Theater project with 5 parts. There were a total of 11 files, some flash, one html, and something else. To upload them I put them in a folder, zipped it, uploaded the zipped file, extracted it within Blackboard Vista, and pointed to the html file. Nothing. Hmm.

Marika and I did some troubleshooting and decided the unknown was that unzipping utility in Blackboard Vista. So - I deleted the files from inside Vista, and uploaded each individually. Voila! It works!

Grrr.

Adding a Camtasia Project to WebCT

Vici McLaughlin, faculty member from Peninsula College who attended the Summer Institute last August, recently sent me step by step instructions for adding a Camtasia project to WebCT. With her permission, I've added them to the Camtasia Track Blog.

Thanks, Vici!

P.S. I followed them myself was they work.
