Hi, we have blackboard 6.1 and are currently having the same problem. Links
to assignment files uploaded by students into the Gradebook using the Bb
'assignment' tool do not work in the copied course. On examining the server,
we found that the student assignment files had not been copied to the
'attempts' directory of the course copy, but remain as a subfolder of the
original course. It does seem to be a known problem as there are a couple
of references to it on the support website, and installing App Pack 2 was
given as a solution, but not surprisingly, this does not work
retrospectively. Installing Application Pack 2 (taking us up to Bb 6.2.2)
seems to have fixed the problem for future, as courses copied after that
time seem ok, but courses copied before that time still have the same
problem. Did you find any way to fix your copied courses? Would be
interested to hear how you got on.
Many thanks
