Adding an Assignment

The Blackboard assignment feature creates a clear "paper" trail and automatically enters the assignment in the grade book. It will list the name, point value, and a description for class work. You have the option of including attachments to an assignment. Students complete the assignment in a separate file and send it back to you.

Step 1: Click on the Control Panel link and choose the content area and folder that you would like to add the assignment into.

Step 2: Select the Assignments option from the drop down box on the right. Then click on Go.

Step 3: First, type in the text box the name of the assignment. Then you may choose the color that you would like the name of your assignment to appear in. Finally, type in the amount of points that the assignment is worth.

Step 4: You may add additional instructions to your assignment. This text will be shown directly underneath your assignment.

Step 5: Set the options you want to your assignments.

Step 6: Click on the Submit button to add your item. You will receive a timestamp receipt for the addition of the assignment. Click the button to close the window.
