More Information
- Q: Is there a limit to how much information I can store in the Electric Blackboard?
- A: Yes. Text beyond roughly the 500,000th character will be truncated. This is about 250 pages of storage space, though, so normally you will not see this limit.
- Q: I added material to my Electric Blackboard and now it is gone. What happened?
- A: You must be accessing the Electric Blackboard from the same course or organization from which you originally added your notes. In addition, your notes are not saved until you click the Submit button.
- Q: Is there any way to format my notes in the Electric Blackboard?
- A: No. You may use carriage returns, but HTML tags are not allowed, and neither are tabs.
- Q: How can I print my notes?
- A: The Electric Blackboard tool will not allow you to print, but you can copy the text from it and paste the text into an application (word, notepad) and print from there.
