How Do I?

Submit Assignments

Instructors may now place an "assignment" in any of the content areas of your course—where you can upload a completed assignment in the form of a Word file, Excel file, etc. to the Blackboard site—similar to using the Digital Dropbox. An entry is automatically created in the Gradebook when you upload your assignment. Your instructor can then grade the assignment and post the grade directly to the gradebook.

From Your Course:

    1. Click on desired Content Area (Course Materials, Assignments, Syllabus, Books).
    2. Click on the View/Complete link under the Assignment description.
    3. Type in comments as desired.
    4. Click on the Browse button to find your file on your computer.

      Note: You may add multiple files by clicking on the Browse button again and choosing new files.

    5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. If you have completed the assignment, click the Submit button. If you want to come back later to complete the assignment, click the Save button.

More Information

Question: How is the Add Assignment tool different from the Digital Dropbox?
Answer:   Although it works in a similar way, this tool is seperate from the Digital Dropbox. In the Digital Dropbox, files are uploaded and accessed through the Digital DropBox for viewing and comments only. Assignments are linked directly to an entry in the Gradebook and can be accessed and graded from within the Gradebook.

Question: Can I add a second file to my assignment?
Answer:   Yes, but only before you click the Submit button. Once you have chosen your first file, click the Browse button again to choose a second or third file. A Choose File window will open. Locate the file you wish to add and click the Open button. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Submit.
