Blackboard (eCampus) replacing iframe tags with "XXXX."
Issue:
HTML tags are incorrectly stripped when uploading HTML files using WebDAV. Blackboard is replacing <iframe> tags with <xxxx> in HTML files that are uploaded into the courses. If an iFrame tag is inserted into a HTML file, that iFrame will not display because it changed to <xxxx>. This is breaking html5 interactions, MediaSite, and YouTube embeds in the courses.

When grading students in BB Annotate, their assignment appears to be laid out differently than the uploaded/attached document. For example, BB annotate will show three pages, but the students attached document had two pages. The BB Annotate format does not match the format from the attached document. Common fonts such as Times New Roman are substituted with other, visually and metrically incompatible ones in BB Annotate. This can cause page layout changes because the fonts are 'wider' than those selected by the user.
Resolution:
Use PDF
Embed the fonts wished into the DOCX file

Third-Party Grade Center Columns in eCampus Cannot Be Deleted
Issue:
Orphaned third-party columns occur when instructors delete an assignment folder without first deleting the specific third-party assignment contained in the folder, particularly courses copied from a previous semester. Orphaned columns cannot be removed from the grade center.
Resolution:
When third-party assignments (e.g., Turnitin) are copied from a previous semester, there are three options to delete the corresponding column:
Third-Party Assignment Still in an eCampus Course: If the instructor has not yet deleted the Turnitin assignment in a copied course, they need to open the assignment before deleting it otherwise, it will not delete the corresponding column in the Grade Center.
Third-Party Assignment Deleted from eCampus Course: If the instructor has deleted the Turnitin assignment they cannot delete the corresponding column from the Grade Center, but you can hide the grade column from the instructors' and students' view
Third-Party Assignment Deleted from eCampus Course: Submit a ticket to ITS and they will work with the eCampus vendor (Blackboard) to delete the columns.
Teaching Assistants Cannot Grade Turnitin Assignments
Issue:
When a Turnitin assignment link is no longer available to students, Teaching Assistants (TA) are not able to grade it. The TA will get an “Access Denied” error after clicking on the unavailable Turnitin assignment. There are two workarounds for this issue.
Resolution:
The instructor can create an adaptive release, making the assignment available only to the TA.
Create an Advanced Adaptive Release for TA
Click the drop-down contextual menu next to the Turnitin assignment.
Select the “Edit” option.
Make sure the “Visible to Students” option is set to Yes.
Make sure the “Display Until” option is unchecked.
Select the “Adaptive Release: Advanced” option.
Click the drop-down contextual menu next to the LTI rule.
Select “Edit Criteria”
Select the box for the “Date” criteria and click the “Delete” button.
Click the “Create Criteria” button.
Select the “Membership” option.
Type the TA’s username.
Click Submit.
Now the students cannot see the Turnitin assignment, but the TA and instructor can still access it.
