Description of Assignment settings available to instructors in Blackboard.

Assignment Settings

  • Attach a file

  • Due Date

    • All assignments can be submitted after the due date, they will just be marked as late and the instructor can decide how to proceed with grading

  • Grading – Assign points possible

    • You must assign a point value to the assignment

    • You can change the grading format to alphanumeric or a variety of other formats by editing the properties of the assignment in the Grade Center after the assignment has been fully created

    • If you want an assignment to be simply participatory, you will need to still initially assign a numerical grade and then adjust the grade settings in the grade center.

    • Optionally, you can associate a Rubric to use when grading the assignment.

    • Submission Details

      • You can make the assignment individual (all students submit individually), or a group assignment.

      • Specify the Number of Attempts you'd like to give students to submit.

    • Grading Options

      • Anonymous Grading - Student names are hidden during the grading process.

      • Delegated Grading - Delegate grading responsibilities to one or more additional grader.

    • Display of Grades

      • Specify how you would like grades displayed.

  • Availability

    • Assignments are available by default

    • Number of attempts: Single, unlimited, set number

      • Default is single attempt

    • Limit availability dates: Display After and Display Until

      • If a Display Until date is entered in, on this date, the link to the item will be removed, disabling students from access the assignment

      • After the Display Until date, the instructor can change this date to allow late assignments

    • Track number of views
