Corrupted zip files downloaded from NUoodle assignments

Summary

Faculty unable to unzip a file that contains student assignments

Body

Problem

Faculty are unable to unzip files from students that were downloaded from a NUoodle assignment.
The zip file was created and sent to a Windows or Apple computer, but unzipping it produces an error message and no files or folders were unzipped.

Response

After an online meeting with a faculty member in which we were troubleshooting the problem, we came up with the following.
  1. The faculty member cleared their cache and cookies for the last 7 days and that fixed the issue.
    1. Using Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox, you can quickly clear your cache with a keyboard shortcut. While using your browser, press Ctrl+Shift+Delete keys simultaneously on the keyboard to open the appropriate window. Remember to close the browser and restart it after clearing the cache and cookies.
  2. Chrome incognito mode and Firefox private browsing.
For background information on what incognito browsing is and is not, here is a good link if you are interested.
 
Also, computer users should periodically check to make sure they are always using the most up-to-date browser version.
If following these steps does not solve the problem, please respond to this ticket to reopen it.
