Assignment Management

Assignments in Blackboard are a way of organizing files students upload to the Blackboard course.

Assignments are managed in the Gradebook and can be created in any content area of a course. All content management operations, including time-release options, are supported.

Instructors can provide feedback through the Web and through direct comments on students' assignments.

Assignments are tied directly to the Gradebook and are organized by Assignment and student - unlike the Digital Drop box or email, which store all files in one location.
