Marking work submitted online

This article outlines the different methods for adding grades and feedback

This article explains how to use the inline grading tool (New Box View) for annotating submissions online.

The Marks and Feedback Tool (aka Batch Upload Tool) in Blackboard enables you to batch upload feedback file attachments to the Grade Centre for work submitted online.

The Blackboard Marks and Feedback (‘Batch Upload’) tool enables the bulk upload of feedback file attachments and marks generated electronically outside of Blackboard into the Grade Centre for an assignment submitted online. It is not recommended using the tool at this time for batch uploading feedback for group assignments.

Please note: these instructions are relevant to student work submitted to Blackboard Assignment submission points.

Hiding grade columns enables you to add marks and feedback to the Grade Centre without students seeing this information until a time you wish to release them.

Due to students' work being lost irretrievably, we have decided to remove the function to clear a students' attempt/ submission. 

There may still be times when students have submitted the wrong file, but as we are now recommending that submission points should allow unlimited attempts for students, there is no need to clear the attempt. However, there is still the option to ignore the attempt. This allows for the instructor to effectively disregard that particular attempt, without the risk of losing any work.

The 'print to mark' service is offered to allow for offline marking of scripts that have been submitted electronically via Blackboard, prior to the provision of electronic feedback.

Work submitted online to Blackboard can be marked anonymously using the ‘Grade with Usernames Hidden’ option

Where feedback and marks are entered in to a grade column for an assignment that is visible to students but you wish the information to remain hidden, then use the Save Draft option. This will keep any feedback and marks entered hidden from those students, while the remaining students can access their feedback and marks as usual. Once you are ready to release the feedback and marks to those individual students, you simply update the ‘draft’ status to submit

You embed audio and video recordings with text-based feedback on any gradable item in Blackboard (such as assignments, grade columns, wikis, blogs, discussions, tests). 

The steps below detail the bulk uploading of text-only feedback comments to the Grade Centre. For the batch upload of feedback file attachments, see: how do I batch upload feedback file attachments to the Grade Centre for assignments submitted online?

This article explains how to use the grade history in Blackboard to see exam submission times for all students enrolled on a Blackboard module site.

You can upload to Turnitin on behalf of students. This must be done one student at a time. It is not possible to upload in bulk or anonymously.
