Please ask your Desire2Learn experts about why files with .sav extensions will not upload properly. I uploaded the links.sav file again, and I got the same error message when I clicked on it: "The page cannot be found." Blackboard apparently did not care about such file extensions. They are the extensions for data files for SPSS, one of the most widely used statistical software programs in the world. This campus has it in its labs, and my students downloaded these files here and at OSU-Tulsa, where I will! be teaching next semester. I have been using these files for several years in Blackboard without problems. In addition, I have downloaded them form other sites on the Web before. Because they are so widely used, someone must have used them in this program before for statistics or research methods classes. Further explanation from the instructor: I just tried to download a similar file with a .sav extension from the same course in Blackboard, and it worked just fine. The file size is 1.58 KB, which is essential the 2 KB that shows up in Desire2Learn. I am using Internet Explorer as before. When I click on the file in Blackboard, the File Download box comes up and it asks "Do you Want to Save this File?" You get the icon that indicates that it does not recognize the file type, but that does not matter. By the way, I had the same problem in Desire2Learn using Firefox, so the problem appears to be something with Desire2Learn, not a specific browser. Thank you very much.
