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:
- Click on desired Content Area (Course Materials, Assignments,
Syllabus, Books).
- Click on the View/Complete link under the Assignment description.
- Type in comments as desired.
- 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.
- 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.
