Blackboard's Assignment tool takes the place of collecting a stack of paper in the classroom or having students email you their documents and project files.
How It Works
When an instructor creates an assignment on Blackboard, they can provide instructions, any necessary supplemental files -- a video to watch, a worksheet to complete, a case study to read. This also creates a place where students can either type their response directly into Blackboard or upload one or more files.
When you create the assignment, you also create a column in Blackboard's Gradebook.
When students submit their assignments, you can view, annotate, and grade their submissions online or download the files for offline viewing through Blackboard's grading area.
