Assignments
The Assignment tool in Blackboard allows you to collect and grade student assignments electronically. Assignments can
be added in any of the Content Areas and can also be part of a Learning Module or Lesson Plan. Once the Assignment is
created, Blackboard automatically adds a column to the Grade Center, where all of the submissions are collected and later
graded. Assignments can be individual or group. If it is a Group Assignment, only one grade needs to be entered and it will
automatically be assigned to the other members of the group.

Creating an Assignment
1. With Edit Mode On, click Assessments in the course
menu (or any other Content Area where the
Assignment will be placed)
2. On the Action Bar, click Create Assessments and
select Assignment

Assignment Name and Instructions
4. Attach an additional file, if needed, by clicking the
Browse My Computer button or dragging a file from
your computer to the dashed box

Remember!
• All assignment file submissions by students count
towards the available course quota

students can submit assignments multiple times; if
each attempt is graded, Blackboard assigns the grade
based on the last attempt, unless you change this in
the Display of Grades options
