How do I add an assignment to my Blackboard module? (Staff)

See the Create Blackboard Assignment page for the details of setting up your assignment.

The following settings should be used at AU:

• Under Details and Information,
• Enter the Due Date and Time (see AU E-submission policy points 4.2 and 4.3 for guidance on setting due dates)
• Leave the other boxes unticked
• Note that if you are applying Release Conditions, the available until date should be at least 1 minute after the due date
• Under Marking & Submissions
• Attempts allowed – Unlimited
• Attempts to mark – Last attempt
• Mark using – Percentage
• Maximum points – 100

• Anonymous marking – tick the box next to Hide student names

To use SafeAssign:

• Under Additional Tools

• Originality Report – click on Enable SafeAssign
• Click on the cross next to Enable SafeAssign to switch on SafeAssign
• Leave the other boxes unticked.
• Note that because of the way that SafeAssign describes the Originality Report in terms of ‘risk’ we recommend not making this available to students at the moment. We have raised an enhancement request with Blackboard to remove reference to this.
• More information about SafeAssign is available on the SafeAssign in Your Course page.
