Creating an Assignment in Blackboard
With the help of Blackboard Assignments, student work can be submitted entirely online. These online submissions provide benefits for both students and instructors. Here are a few:
- Students and instructors can avoid
printing assignments and therefore save money on paper.
- Links to assignments provide definite
proof that a student submitted the assignment promptly and properly.
- Instructors can easily create online
deadlines. These deadlines set the time frame of when Blackboard Assignments
will and will not be accepted.
- Blackboard Assignments automatically generate
corresponding columns in the Grade Center.
- Blackboard Assignments are easily
categorized and weighted for calculating a grade, enabling students to
track their progress throughout the course.
It’s easy for instructors to create a Blackboard Assignment once they have determined the organization of their course materials. Instructors simply need to access their pre-determined location where Blackboard Assignments will be placed (ex: Content area, Week 1 folder, Assignments subfolder) and choose Assessments -> Assignment.
