My students are getting an "artifact error" when they try to view an announcement
|
|
|
This issue has been seen in several tools, including Announcements. It is caused by the "create reusable object" checkbox being selected for the Item. This is a known bug but no specific service pack has been identified that will fix it. The simplest solution is to simply deselect the "reusable object" checkbox. That eliminates the error message.
If that does not seem to be the issue, it has also come up if there is too much "junk html code" in the Item that IE browsers can't read. This would need to be cleaned up or be created directly in Bb rather than cut/paste from other applications.

I embedded HTML embedded to point to a YouTube video in a learning module and now I can't see other content in the learning module.

First of all - we do not recommend embedding HTML code into items or pages in Bb Learn--it's far easier and more seamless for all involved if the built-in tools to deliver media content are used, rather than embed codes.
Occasionally, however, instructors who do have knowledge of HTML find a special need to embed a link to a video or other web-based content and wish to insert embed codes into their Items or Pages. Blackboard is a frame-based application so any HTML code needs to account for the frames in which content is displayed--especially in learning module. One recent example of an embedded link to a YouTube video that caused problems proved to be an error related to FRAMES. Is shown below Example 1 shows the code that prevented content (tests, other items) in a learning module from displaying, following the item with the html code.
Example 2 shows code that DID display it correctly.
Example 1: This is the coding that DID NOT allow items after it to be viewable in a learning module with edit mode ON (possibly the ending / in the code was preventing it from displaying the other items in the Learning Module)

Example 2: This is the coding that DID ALLOW items after it to be viewable (content in RED is the difference)
