OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service that allows you to store, access, and share files from anywhere. In the educational context, OneDrive integrates with Blackboard to provide seamless file management and collaboration capabilities. Faculty can store course materials, share resources with students, and enable collaborative document editing—all while maintaining the security and organization of their Blackboard course.
There are two use cases for OneDrive files:
• Share files editable by the Instructor only
• Share files for collaboration as a class or groups
