Hi Richard, thanks for replying.
I must admit to being a little confused as to what the content system actually is, and whether we are on it. We are on Learning system 6 23.2.3. I dont know if that is instead of content system or if it could be a subsection of the learning system, so to speak.
Hi Anthony,
we are on Learning system I'm afraid..
I have heard that its possible dropboxes will be fazed out in favour of the assignments function, so I am thinking of extending their use rather than roll out something new (dont want to cause too much shock horror and recoil)
Thanks for your help and good luck!

Hi Antonia,
We asked Blackboard about using Sophos for virus-scanning and their response
was that supportability is not affected, but they might ask for it to be
switched off when troubleshooting any problems.
Also, Learning System/Dropbox files with viruses can be disinfected or
quarantined safely but Content System files unfortunately can't, as it would
lead to inconsistencies in the application. There were some other
suggestions for handling Content System files but they fell under the "at
our own risk" or "talk to Global Services" category. All we can definitely
do is possibly raise an alert if our scans show a virus in a Content System
file.
Do you use the Content System? If you or anyone else has tried
virus-scanning Content System files I'd love to hear about it.
Anthony.
