There is a limit of 20MB when downloading files from the Locker and Dropbox. Attempts to download files larger than 20MB will result in either a message reading that the file has no data or an Internal Error (Error 500). For the Dropbox, D2L suggests avoiding zipping files if the resulting zipped file is larger than 20MB. It is better to download individual files instead. If the file is larger than 20 MB, at this time there aren't any other options within D2L to download the file.
What is the proper way to name files used in Learn@ UW-Stout?You can name your files whatever you want, but make sure you are notusing any of the following illegalcharacters within your filenames: ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & *( ) + [ ] { } | \ : ; " ' < > , ? / (space).Files containing any of these illegalcharacters do notopen as expected. For example, a file with the name of do's_and_don'ts.pdfposted in the Content area will appear to be blank when a user opens it (even though the same file can be opened just fine within the Manage Files area). However, once this file is renamed without the apostrophes, users will be able to open it. This also holds true with files used in the Dropbox and Locker areas.
Is there some way to restrict access to my courses so that students who are already registered for it cannot access it until the semester begins?Learn@UW-Stout (D2L) course start dates are the same as listed in Datatel. Therefore, the students won't have access to the course until the official start date unless an instructor requests otherwise. To request a change for the student access dates, please email your course title, semester being taught and preferred dates to learn@uwstout.edu.
