Text submission : You post a text, image or link to your work using an html-editor box. For example, if you are required to make a web page, you can link it in the html text editor.
On paper submission : You hand in an assignment as a hard copy. This will not be uploaded to Brightspace. The teacher can still provide feedback to you in Grades.
Observed in person : If you have to perform an assignment in a lecture or workgroup, the teacher can provide feedback for this as an assignment, even though you are not required to upload anything in Assignments.

The teacher will tell you beforehand how to submit your assignment to Brightspace.

How does a group assignment work?

Instructors can set up a group assignment where students in the group submit once and the instructor can enter a single grade for all group members. This article will answer frequently asked questions about group assignments.

How do students submit their work?

What do i do if a student is a member of multiple groups for an assignment, what happens if group membership changes, how do i grade group assignments.

For more information on setting up a group assignment, see How do I add an assignment?

For more information on creating groups, see How do I create groups?

In a group assignment, one student submits on behalf of the group by following the steps in How do I submit an assignment? When a grade is assigned to a group submission, each student in the group receives the same grade.

If resubmissions are allowed, any of the group members can modify the first group member's submission and resubmit it.

Note: An individual student's grade can be overriden. For more information, see the Assign grade overrides step in the How do I grade group assignments? section below.

A student cannot be in multiple groups associated with the same group assignment. If a student is in multiple groups for the same assignment, any student who tries to access it will be presented with an alert that displays which student(s) are in multiple groups. Follow the steps below to remove a student from the additional group.

Go to Site Settings.

Select Site Settings from the tool menu in your site.

Select Manage Groups.

Select the group to remove the student from.

Select the group that you wish to remove the student from in the Group Title column.

Select group members.

In the Assigned Members list, select the name(s) of the site participant(s) to remove from the group.
Select the left arrow ( < ) button under Membership controls to unassign the selected members or roles to the group .
Once you have removed any students who are also members of another group, select the Save group button.

Tip: You may select several members in the Assigned Members list to move as follows:

To select several consecutive names, click the first name in the list to add. Then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard while clicking the last name in the list to add.
To select select several non-consecutive names, hold down the Ctrl key (on a PC) or the Command key (on a Mac) while clicking each name.
To select several consecutive names, select the first name in the list to add using the up and down arrow keys. Then hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys to navigate down the list of names until you have selected the last name in the list to add.
To select several non-consecutive names, select a name in the list to add using the up and down arrow keys. Then hold down the Ctrl key (on a PC) or the Command key (on a Mac) and use the arrow keys to navigate to another name to add. Select the next name with the spacebar .

A student is added to a group.

If a student is added to a group, they would have the ability to submit on behalf of the group. If the group has already submitted the assignment or been graded, the student would be able to see that group's submission, grades and comments. The student would also receive the same grade as the rest of the group for any graded assignments, including assignments graded prior to them joining the group. If the group is allowed to resubmit, the new group member would be able to resubmit.

A student is removed from a group.

If a student is removed from a group, they would lose access to any drafts, submissions, comments, and grades from their previous group. The group members of the previous group would still be able to access any drafts or submissions saved by the student who was removed from the group.

Go to Assignments.

Select Assignments from the tool menu in your site.

Select the assignment to grade.

Select Grade under the assignment's title.

Enable or disable File Preview.

File Preview is a feature in Assignments that displays submissions, whether it be an uploaded file or work done inline, and allows you to grade them all in the same window. For information about grading an assignment using File Preview, see the help article: How do I grade an assignment using File Preview?

The steps below describe how to grade a group assignment with File Preview disabled.

Tip: You can assign grade overrides to individual students in a group assignment. If you are assigning a grade override, verify that File Preview is off. To turn it off, select the slider and it will change from On to Off. Find more information about grade overrides in the Assign grade overrides step below.

Select a group.

Under the Group column, select the name of a group.

In addition to the list of groups, you will see the Submitted Date , Status , Grade , and Released columns. Sort the page display by any of these columns by selecting the column's title.

Grading Navigation Bar

Navigate Submissions allows you to navigate between the groups' submissions for the assignment. Options include:

Previous: Go to the previous group's grade page.
Previous Ungraded: Go to the previous ungraded group's submission.
Return to List: Go to the list of all groups.
Next Ungraded: Go to the next ungraded group's submission.
Next: Go to the next group's grade page.
Navigate between students with submissions only: Allows you to navigate between only the groups who have submitted.

Note: Selecting any of the options above that take you to a different page (options 1-5) will save changes you have made on the current group's grade page.

View group submission.

The group submission will be displayed as follows:

The group's name, group members, submission date, graded status, and History.
Next, under Assignment Submission , the group's inline submission text (if applicable) is shown.
Under Submitted Attachments , any attached files will appear. The file name as well as the the file size and submission date are also shown.

Note: To view group file attachments, you will need to click on the file name to download and open the file.

Enter grade.

Enter the score for the group's assignment in the grade entry text box provided.

Note: If the iRubric tool is included in your UVACollab site, a rubric cannot be used to enter the grade for a group assignment.

Assign grade overrides. (Optional)

You can assign grade overrides to individual students in a group assignment. This may be helpful if you add a student who joined the class later to an existing group with a submission.

Select the Assign Grade Overrides checkbox.
Assign a grade override to a student by entering a new score in the Override grade with: field under the student's name.
Leave the Override grade with: field blank for a student to give them the assigned grade for the group in the Grade field above.

Note: You can only assign grade overrides with File Preview turned off. Go to the Enable or disable File Preview step above to disable File Preview.

Enter instructor comments. (Optional)

To include additional comments along with the grade, you may enter them into the Rich-Text Editor under the Instructor Summary Comments section. These comments will be visible to all group members.

Return an attachment. (Optional)

To return a file attachment to all group members with additional feedback, select the Add Attachments button to browse for and select a file.

Override Accept Until Date. (Optional)

To give a specific group a date extension on their first submission to the assignment:

Select the Override Accept Until Date checkbox.
The assignment's Accept Until date will be automatically filled in the Accept Until date field that appears. Edit this date as needed.

Note: If the group already submitted the assignment, you may allow them to modify their submission by following the step below to allow resubmission.

Allow resubmissions. (Optional)

To allow the group to resubmit the assignment:

Check the Allow Resubmission box.
Specify the number of resubmissions allowed and the date until which they will be accepted.

Note: If you allowed resubmissions on the assignment when you created it, the Number of resubmissions allowed and Accept Until date will be automatically filled with the assignment's resubmission information. However, you may override the default settings for a specific group by changing the information on the group's grade page for the assignment.

Save the grade and other changes.

If you are finished grading and would like to release the information to all group members, select the Save and Release to Student button.

Alternatively, to save the grade but wait and release it to all group members at a later date, you may select the Save and Don't Release to Student button.

Tip: Some faculty prefer to release all of the grades at one time when they have finished entering grades for the whole class.

Use Groups with an Assignment

How can we help.

The assignment activity has specialized group settings to help facilitate collaborative work.

Before configuring groups in an assignment, make sure to create groups . If you are using groups in more than one assignment you may also want to create a grouping .

Open the assignment you want to add groups to
Click Edit settings from the “Assignment administration” menu.
In the "Group submissions settings" section, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes to enable group submissions.
Set "Require group to make submission" to Yes if you don't want to allow students not in a group to be able to submit (they will see a message reading: "You're not a member of any group; please contact your teacher").
The "Require all group members submit" field will become available if the "Require students click submit button" field (in the "Submission settings" section") is set to Yes . If both of these are enabled, the assignment will not be counted as submitted until all members of the group have visited the assignment and clicked the submit button. This is useful if multiple students need to upload contributions. When one student has submitted, the other members of the group will be able to see who still has to submit.

Use the "Grouping for student groups" field if you are using groups in more than one activity in Moodle. For example, you may have one set of groups for a collaborative project and another set for discussions forums. See the Create a Grouping guide for details on setting up groupings.
Click Save and display or Save and return to course .
When you open the assignment, you will see Moodle is only expecting submissions for each group, rather than for each student.

When grading submissions, you will see an option to "Apply grades and feedback to entire group." If you leave this set to its default Yes , all members of the group will automatically receive the same grades and feedback.

Create a group assignment

You can create a collaborative assignment for teams of students who participate in your course.

Who can use this feature?

Organization owners who are admins for a classroom can create and manage group assignments for a classroom. For more information on classroom admins, see " Manage classrooms ."

When a student accepts a group assignment, the student can create a new team or join an existing team. GitHub Classroom saves the teams for an assignment as a set. You can name the set of teams for a specific assignment when you create the assignment, and you can reuse that set of teams for a later assignment.

For each group assignment, GitHub Classroom automatically creates a single shared repository for the team to access. The repository can be empty, or you can create the repository from a template repository with starter code, documentation, tests, and other resources. The repository belongs to your organization account on GitHub, and GitHub Classroom grants access to teams that students create or join when accepting the assignment.

Each assignment has a title and an optional deadline. You can choose the visibility of repositories that GitHub Classroom creates and choose access permissions. You can also automatically grade assignments and create a dedicated space to discuss the assignment with the student.

You can decide how many teams one assignment can have, and how many members each team can have. Each team that a student creates for an assignment is a team within your organization on GitHub. The visibility of the team is secret. Teams that you create on GitHub will not appear in GitHub Classroom. For more information, see " About teams ."

You can reuse existing assignments in any other classroom you have admin access to, including classrooms in a different organization. For more information, see " Reuse an assignment ."

Prerequisites

You must create a classroom before you can create an assignment. For more information, see " Manage classrooms ."

Creating an assignment

Sign into GitHub Classroom .
Navigate to a classroom.
If this your first assignment, click Create an assignment .
Otherwise, click New assignment on the right side.

Setting up the basics for an assignment

Name your assignment, decide whether to assign a deadline, define teams, and choose the visibility of assignment repositories.

Naming an assignment

Assigning a deadline for an assignment, choosing an assignment type, defining teams for an assignment, choosing a visibility for assignment repositories.

For a group assignment, GitHub Classroom names repositories by the repository prefix and the name of the team. By default, the repository prefix is the assignment title. For example, if you name an assignment "assignment-1" and the team's name on GitHub is "student-team", the name of the assignment repository for members of the team will be assignment-1-student-team .

Under "Assignment title", type a title for the assignment. Optionally, click to edit the prefix.

Optionally, you can assign a deadline to the assignment. Under "Deadline (optional)", click in the text field, then use the date picker to assign a deadline.

Optionally, to make the deadline a cutoff date, select This is a cutoff date . If you use a cutoff date, students will lose write access to their assignment repositories after the cutoff date has passed unless they receive an extension. For more information on extending assignment deadlines, see " Extending an assignment's deadline for an individual or group ."

Under "Individual or group assignment", select the drop-down menu, then click Group assignment . You can't change the assignment type after you create the assignment. If you'd rather create an individual assignment, see " Create an individual assignment ."

If you've already created a group assignment for the classroom, you can reuse a set of teams for the new assignment. To create a new set with the teams that your students create for the assignment, type the name for the set. Optionally, type the maximum number of team members and total teams.

We recommend including details about the set of teams in the name for the set. For example, if you want to use the set of teams for one assignment, name the set after the assignment. If you want to reuse the set throughout a semester or course, name the set after the semester or course.

If you'd like to assign students to a specific team, give your students a name for the team and provide a list of members.

The repositories for an assignment can be public or private. If you use private repositories, only the student or team can see the feedback you provide.

You can also decide whether to grant students admin permissions to the repository for an assignment. Grant admin permissions if the student should be able to perform administrative tasks for the assignment repository. For more information, see " About repositories " and " Repository roles for an organization ."

Under "Repository visibility", select a visibility. Optionally, select Grant students admin access to their repository .

When you're done, click Continue to configure starter code and a development environment for the assignment.

Adding starter code and configuring a development environment

Optionally, decide whether to provide empty repositories or starter code, and preconfigure a development environment for your students.

Choosing a template repository

Choosing an integrated development environment (ide).

By default, a new assignment will create an empty repository for each team that a student creates. You can optionally choose a template repository as starter code for the assignment. For more information, see " Create an assignment from a template repository ."

Note: The template repository must belong to your organization or be a public repository on GitHub.

Under "Add a template repository to give students starter code", select the Select a repository drop-down, then type a search query. In the list of results, click the template repository you'd like to use for starter code.

You can optionally configure an assignment to use an integrated development environment (IDE). IDEs allow your students to write code, run programs, and collaborate without installing Git and a full development toolchain on the student's computer. If you choose an IDE for an assignment, students can still check out and run code locally on a computer with the necessary software. For more information, see " Integrate GitHub Classroom with an IDE ."

You can choose to configure an assignment with GitHub Codespaces to give students access to a browser-based Visual Studio Code environment with one-click setup. For more information, see " Using GitHub Codespaces with GitHub Classroom ."

To choose an IDE for the assignment, select the Add an editor drop-down menu and click the IDE you'd like your students to use.

When you're done, click Continue to configure automatic grading and feedback for the project.

Providing feedback

Optionally, you can automatically grade assignments and create a space for discussing each submission with the team.

Testing assignments automatically

Creating a pull request for feedback.

You can use autograding to automatically check a student's work for an assignment on GitHub Classroom. You configure tests for an assignment, and the tests run immediately every time a student pushes to an assignment repository on GitHub.com. The student can view the test results, make changes, and push to see new results. For more information, see " Use autograding ."

Under "Add autograding tests", select the Add test drop-down menu, then click the grading method you want to use. For more information, see " Use autograding ."

Define the parameters of your test case, like the name, commands, inputs, outputs, timeout, and points. When you're done, click Save test case .

You can add more tests with the Add test drop-down menu, and you can edit or delete existing tests with or .

Designating protected file paths

If your assignment has files or directories that are used in the grading process or otherwise shouldn't be edited by students, you can designate them as protected file paths. If a student edits a protected file, a label will be applied to their submission on the assignment overview page for you to investigate. For more information, see " Monitor students' progress with the assignment overview page ."

The patterns for protected paths follow rules similar to shell filename globs. It may contain the following meta-characters:

* : Matches any file. For example, * matches all regular files, foo* matches all files beginning with foo , *foo matches all files ending with foo , and *foo* matches all files whose names contain foo (including at the beginning or end)
** : Matches directories recursively or files expansively. For example, .github/**/* will match all files in .github and any of its subdirectories
? : Matches any one character
[set] : Matches any one character in set (including sets like a-z )
\ : Escapes the next meta-character

You can automatically create a pull request where you can provide feedback and answer a student's questions about an assignment. For more information about the review of changes in a pull request, see " Reviewing changes in pull requests ." For more information on leaving feedback in a pull request, see " Leave feedback with pull requests ."

To create pull requests for the discussion of feedback, select Enable feedback pull requests .

To create the assignment, click Create assignment .

Inviting students to an assignment

By default, GitHub Classroom enables an invitation URL for each assignment you create. Students can accept and submit the assignment while the invitation URL is enabled. You can share the URL with your students on your LMS, course homepage, or wherever you post assignments. Students can also navigate to the assignment on GitHub Classroom if the student has already accepted an assignment for the classroom.

Warning : Be careful where you share invitation URLs. Anyone with an invitation URL for an assignment can accept the invitation and associate a personal account on GitHub with an identifier in your roster.

You can see the teams that are working on or have submitted an assignment in the Teams tab for the assignment. To prevent acceptance or submission of an assignment by students, you can change the "Assignment Status" within the "Edit assignment" view. When an assignment is Active, students will be able to accept it using the invitation link. When it is Inactive, this link will no longer be valid.

Monitoring students' progress

The assignment overview page provides an overview of your assignment acceptances and student progress. For more information on viewing and using the assignment overview page, see " Monitor students' progress with the assignment overview page ."

After you create the assignment and your students form teams, team members can start work on the assignment using Git and GitHub's features. Students can clone the repository, push commits, manage branches, create and review pull requests, address merge conflicts, and discuss changes with issues. Both you and the team can review the commit history for the repository. For more information, see " Get started with GitHub documentation ," " Repositories documentation ," " Using Git ," and " Collaborating with pull requests ," and the free course on resolving merge conflicts from GitHub Skills.

When a team finishes an assignment, you can review the files in the repository, or you can review the history and visualizations for the repository to better understand how the team collaborated. For more information, see " Viewing activity and data for your repository ."

You can provide feedback for an assignment by commenting on individual commits or lines in a pull request. For more information, see " Commenting on a pull request " and " Creating an issue ." For more information about creating saved replies to provide feedback for common errors, see " About saved replies ."

How to Use Your Fandango Gift Card the Right Way

Over the last decade, there has been a multitude of research to support the use of student groups and student collaboration for class assignments. Early online learning environments forced teachers to become creative in assigning and collecting collaborative work; however, current systems offer more options. The most recent updates to Google Classroom expanded the possibilities for students and teachers in regards to grouping assignments. Assigning lessons to groups of students in Classroom involves only a few simple steps and opens up possibilities which were not formerly available for teachers and students.

Step 1: Create Group Documents

The first step in assigning group work in Classroom is to create an assignment document (Doc, Sheet, etc.) and make a copy for each group. Be sure to add the group name or number to the end of the file name to assist with organization. Save group assignment documents in Drive where they can be easily located. Saving documents in the Classroom folder is acceptable.

Step 2: Create Group Assignment Topic

On the Classwork tab, select the Create button and choose Topic. Give the topic an appropriate name relative to the group project.

Step 3: Choose Students

Select the Create button and choose Assignment. In the Assignment dialogue box, click the student dropdown menu, uncheck “all students” and choose the students who will be in the first group. This step will be repeated later for additional groups.

Step 4: Create Assignment

In the Assignment dialogue box, give the assignment an appropriate title which includes the group name and/or number and provide any additional instructions. Remember to select the Topic for the group project. Next, upload assignment documents for the initial group, and be sure “Students Can Edit” is chosen as the document option instead of making a copy for each student. Don’t post the assignment yet – save as a draft until all groups are created.

Step 5: Reuse Assignment for Additional Groups

Using the “Reuse Post” feature helps teachers avoid the need to retype information for each group assignment. First, click the Create button and choose Reuse Post. The Reuse Post dialogue box will appear. Select the post to be duplicated and click Reuse. Finally, edit the assignment as needed for each group. Ensure that the group members are adjusted using the student dropdown menu and that the group number is changed in the title and instructions (if needed). Also, remember to remove the assignment documents for the prior group and upload the documents needed for the new group. Save additional group assignments as drafts (don’t post yet).

Step 6: Post All Group Assignments

Once all group assignment draft are complete, the final step is to post the assignments so students can begin working. Drafts of group assignments will appear under the group topic created in Step 1. Click the triple dot menu and select Edit. The Assignment dialogue box will appear in order for the assignment to be posted. Repeat this step for each group.

Group Assignments for Faculty/Staff/TAs

Canvas has built-in functionality that allows instructors to create and assign group projects to students.

It’s important to make sure your Group Project assignment is set up correctly before students begin submitting. Once students have submitted, your options for changing or mitigating things become limited. Your LSP or the Central Courseware team will be happy to work with you to make sure your assignment achieves your goals.

Step One- Add Your Group Set in the “People” Tab

Create your group set in the “Groups” tab before the assignment opens and students begin submitting.

Groups must be set up in the “People” tab before students submit an assignment. Otherwise, inconsistent behaviors will occur. If you’re not sure which students will be in which group (for example, the add/drop period isn’t over yet), you can create the groups sets without putting students into them. You can later manually or randomly place students into groups, or have students sign up for groups of their choice . It’s also possible to adjust things like the max number of group members later by editing the “Split [number] of students per group” option from the drop down menu”.

Step Two – Create the Group Assignment

Follow the directions for creating a group assignment in Canvas , making sure the box for “group assignment” is checked.

By default, Group Assignments will assign the same grade to all members of the group. If you want to assign grades individually to each student in the group, make sure to select the checkbox.

Troubleshooting & Best Practices

It’s important to set up your groups before students begin submitting to the assignment. If your groups weren’t set up before students began submitting to your Group Assignment, your assignment may not behave as expected.

Best Practices

If you need to adjust your Groups for any reason (for example, a student drops the course), you can do one of two things: – Edit the assignment to grade each student individually , then use the modified Group set. OR – Clone the Group set , rename the Group, and have students make any changes to self-signup group membership in the new group set. (Recommended) *Please note that the assignment needs to have self sign up enabled and the People tab must be active in the Course navigation for students to be able to join a new group.

If you’re copying a course from a previous semester (for example, using the “course import tool”), it’s important to know that the option for “projects groups” won’t automatically have any Groups associated with it in the new course. Additionally, it can be difficult to know which assignments are associated with a Group Project in a copied course.

Troubleshooting

If your groups weren’t set up before students began submitting to your Group Assignment, your assignment may not behave as expected. Below are some quick fixes to common issues you may see.

Students will see whatever happens in their group only AFTER they are placed in a group. Keep this in mind if you are troubleshooting a Group Projects assignment. Make sure all students are in a Group before grading.

Edit the assignment
Make the Discussion board ungraded
Uncheck the box for groups
Save your changes
Edit the assignment to make it a graded discussion again
Click “save”.

Keep in mind that if a group is assigned to a discussion board, only the group members can read and comment on the same board. Each group will have its own board. This is a different concept than a group assignment where one student submits on behalf of the entire group.

Solution: Edit the assignment, checking the box for “ Assign Grades to Each Student Individually ”, and click “Save”.

How can I use Assignments for groups?

Updated on Jul 16, 2021

This article explains how you can use Assignments for groups.

Start with group categories, create group assignments via assignments, create group assignments via groups (only possible if there is no assignment linked yet).

If your students are working together on an assignment, you can enable group submission(s) by setting up a group assignment. If you have not created groups yet, be sure to read the article " How do I use groups? " before proceeding.

There are two ways you can create group assignments:

Via Assignments : if you have already made the group(s) and/or given them an assignment.
Via Groups : if you want to enable new groups access to assignments. If you have already given an assignment to a group category, you cannot use this option.

If you have many different groups in your course and you want to give each of the groups a different assignment then you must add them to separate Group Categories , because assignments can only be connected to Group Categories and not to the individual groups within them. If you have not made any groups yet and/or want to add a new Group Category, follow the instructions for How do I create Groups? (and under Additional Options tick Set up Assignments ). After having done that, you can proceed with the instructions below for how to create Assignments .

Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course.
Click Assignments .
Click New Assignment .
Give the assignment a name: this is the name that will be displayed on the Assignments homepage. Pick a name that clearly shows that it concerns a group assignment. You can provide more information on the assignment with a short instruction in the html-editor.

Go to the Submission & Completion tab.
Identify under Assignment Type that it concerns a group assignment ( Group Assignment ).
Select the Group Category - the set of groups you want to give an assignment to.

Follow further instructions for creating an assignment and adding restrictions and click Save and Close (or on Save and New to create another assignment).

Do not forget to publish the assignment! When an assignment has the status draft, students will not be able to see the assignment and therefore cannot submit anything either. You publish an assignment via the Assignment quick-menu , and the More Actions menu on the Assignments homepage.

Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course and click on Course Admin .
Click Groups . You will land on the Groups homepage.
In this instruction, an assignment is made for an existing group. If you haven't made any groups yet and/or want to add a new group and want to attach an assignment to it directly, first follow the instruction How do I create Groups? and then the instruction Create Assignments below.

Use the drop-down menu under View Categories to select the Group Category to which you want to attach one or multiple assignments ( above you will see that the Group Category "Werkcollege Maanddaggroep" (= Seminar Monday group) has been selected and that it consists of 4 groups: Werkc-ma-1 t/m Werkc-ma-4 ).
Click the arrow next to the name of the group and then click Edit Category .

3. Scroll down and tick Set up assignments (under Additional Options ). Then identify in the drop-down menu what kind of submission type it concerns ( File submission , Text submission , On paper submission of Observed in person ).

4. Click Save . You will be navigated to the Create Assignments page.

Give the assignment a name (preferably pick one that clearly indicates that it concerns a group assignment)
Under Assignment Type you can see that it is a Group assignment for a certain group and under Submission type you can see that it concerns an assignment for which the groups need to hand in a file in Brightspace to complete it. The settings you have selected for this are automatically filled in. Fill in the rest of the fields as you do when you create an assignment.
Click Create when you are done with creating the assignment for the groups within this group category.
Click Add Another if you want to add another assignment ( For example: if you want each group to hand in a new assignment each week, in a separate assignment, you need to add a new assignment for each week ).

You will now see a summary of the choices you have just made.

5. Click Done .

You will land on the Edit - Category page again. At the bottom of the page you will see the new heading Existing Workspace and below it the assignments you have created. In the example above, one assignment has been added: Groepsopdracht: Actuele betekenis vier Dada-kunstwerken ( Group assignment: Current meaning four Dadaist works of ar t).

Set up discussion areas to create a group discussion topic . Note: this way each group will have their own discussion topic to work on together, for example during a group assignment.
Set up lockers to also give the group(s) their own locker : a shared digital place where files are archived.
Click (one of) the link(s) to navigate to the content of the assignment(s).
Click Save to return to the page of the group category under Manage Groups .

In the middle column ( Assignment) you will now see that you have attached an assignment to the group(s). Click the link to view the submitted assignments. If there is a question mark icon instead of a link, it means that a group has not handed in any assignments.

Do not forget:

Add students to the groups (if you have indicated you wanted to do that manually when you created the groups). To do so, click the name of the group and then Enroll Users OR click the arrow next to the name of the group category and then Enroll Users ;
Publish the assignments, so that they are visible for students and they are able to submit their assignments.

View attached files

Your instructor may attach files that you need to read or use to complete an assignment. Your instructor decides how files appear, such as inline or as attachments.

In most browsers, you can select where the files that you open in courses are downloaded. For example, in Chrome, navigate to Settings > Advanced > Downloads . You can select the location for file downloads and choose if you want the browser to ask each time. In Safari, you have the same capabilities. Navigate to Preferences > General > File download location . You can perform an internet search to learn about file download choices in other browsers.

For video and audio files that appear inline, select the title to open them in new windows. You have controls for play, pause, and volume control. For video files, you can view the video in full screen. You can also download the file.

For media files that appear as attachments, open the menu. Select Download Original File to download images, Word documents, PDFs, or slide presentations to your computer. Select Preview File to open the file on the course page, such as an image.

For image files that appear inline, you can select an image to view it separately.

Submit an assignment

Your instructor provides all the information and files you need to complete an assignment.

Be mindful of the time . If your instructor put a time limit on the assignment , you can keep track of how much time is left. A countdown appears at the top left of your screen and warns you as the time limit gets closer.

The timer keeps counting down when you save a draft or leave an attempt in progress.

Create your submission . You can drag and drop files from your computer directly onto the Submission box. You can also select the Submission box to display the WYSIWYG text editor. To upload a file you can either drag and drop files directly into the Submission box, or you can select the paperclip icon from the tool bar in the WSYWYG edi

You can also select the Submission box to display the WYSIWYG text editor

Your answers will be auto saved two seconds after you’ve stopped typing. Essay question responses are saved every 10s while you’re typing and also again 2s after you’ve stopped typing. Every time an answer has been auto saved, you will see a Last saved notification at the bottom of the assessment.

Last saved notification during a timed assignment

If you lose your connection to the internet, you’ll receive a Connection lost warning. Do not refresh the page or use your browser back button, and check that you are connected to the internet.

The warning disappears after 20 seconds. If your connection has not been restored by that time, another warning will let you know that your most recent work wasn’t saved.

Connection lost and progress not saved warning

Your work will auto save once the connection is restored and you will be notified.

Connection restored and progress saved alert

Auto saving is independent of your browser’s Undo action. When you use the Undo action, contents change according to your browser settings. Any changes because of an Undo action will auto save.

To upload a file, you can either drag and drop it from your computer into the Submission box, or select Attachment - represented by the paper clip icon- and browse for a file from your computer. A status window appears to show the progress of the file upload. Your assignment will be automatically saved after 2 seconds. At this point you'll also preview your file before submitting it.

If you decide to add files and there is a time limit, make sure they have finished uploading before the timer has expired. Otherwise, they won't be included in your submission.

The preview happens automatically as part of the autosave action .

Your assignment will be automatically saved and previewed if you select anywhere outside the Submission box.

Text formatting and attachments. You can use the options in the editor to format the text and embed images and attach files . Visit the previous link to see an expanded view of the editor options and detailed instructions.

If you view the editor on a smaller screen, select the plus icon to view the menu of options. You'll find the option to attach a file to your assignment.

Only your instructor can view the content you add.

To use your keyboard to jump to the editor toolbar, press ALT + F10. On a Mac, press Fn + ALT + F10. Use the arrow keys to select an option, such as a numbered list.

Insert from Cloud Storage : You can instantly connect to multiple web apps where you store files, such as in OneDrive ® and Google Drive™. The files you add are copies. If you make a change to a file in cloud storage, you need to upload a new copy to your course. If your browser allows, media files you add from cloud storage display inline.

Word count in the editor

As you type in the editor for Essay questions and the submission area, the word count appears below the editor. After you save, the word count no longer appears.

These items are included in the word count:

Individual words
Text in bulleted or numbered lists, but the bullets or numbers themselves aren't included
Superscript and subscript text not part of another word

These items and formatting elements don't affect the word count:

Images, videos, and file attachments
Math formulas
Blank spaces and lines
Alternative text

When you use punctuation to attach words or numbers, the count is affected. For example, "We went...without you" is counted as three words. The words or numbers on either side of the punctuation are counted as one word.

Edit your content

After you add content, open the menu and select Edit to make changes or add more content.

You can edit settings for the files you've added. Select a file in the editor and then select the Edit Attachment icon in the row of editor options. You can add a Display Name and Alternative Text . Alternative text describes the image for people who use screen readers or visit web pages with images turned off.

You can also choose whether to insert the file as a link in the editor or to embed the file directly so it appears inline with other content you've added.

Reorder your text and files

Point to a text block or a file to access the Move icon. Press and drag the text block or file to a new location.

You can use your keyboard to move an item.

Tab to an item's Move icon.
Press Enter to activate move mode.
Use the arrow keys to choose a location.
Press Enter to drop the item in the new location.

View the rubric

If your instructor added a rubric for grading to an assignment, you can view it before you open the assignment and after you start the attempt. Select This item is graded with a rubric to view the rubric.

This is how students view a rubric before they open a gradable item or after they start the attempt.

If you want, you can view the rubric alongside the assignment instructions. You can expand each rubric criterion to view the achievement levels and organize your efforts to meet the requirements of the graded work.

Anonymously graded assignments

When you open an assignment, you're informed if your submission is set to be graded anonymously:

This assessment will be graded anonymously. Don't include any personal information, such as your name.

Student view of an assignment with the anonymous alert.

Your instructor won't see your name during grading. Your instructor may choose to grade anonymously to eliminate bias. Your instructor can't enable anonymous grading for group assignments.

You shouldn't include any identifying information with your submission. Don't add your name to files you upload or use your name in any text you add.

You won’t see any indication of anonymous grading on your Grades page. Until your instructor posts grades, you'll see Not graded in the Grade column. If your instructor allowed multiple attempts, you'll also see Not graded for each attempt you've submitted.

The Submission page from the Student's view is open with two attempts on screen. One of it has a "Not graded" message and the other one has a "100/100" grade.

Timed assignments

Your instructor may limit the amount of time you have to submit your assignment. If you have a time limit, it appears alongside other assignment details on the Course Content page. You'll also see the time limit on the assignment's Details & Information panel and within the assignment, as you work. You'll find a countdown at the top left corner of the screen that will let you know the remaining time in minutes and, during the last minute, the time you have left down to the last second.

When you select Start attempt , you'll receive a pop-up window to start the timer before you can access the assignment. If you're not ready to start, select Cancel .

If you see View assessment instead of Start attempt , the assignment isn't timed. You don't have to submit an assignment with no time limit when you open it.

If your instructor allows you to submit multiple attempts, the time limit applies to each attempt.

The timer keeps running whether or not you're actively working on the assignment. If you save a draft or leave the assignment window, the countdown continues and your work is saved and submitted when time is up. When you select Save and Close to return to the assignment later, you're reminded that the timer will continue.

The timer appears at the bottom of the window to let you know how much time is left. Your work is saved and submitted automatically when time is up.

Time remaining notifications. When you take a timed assessment, you’ll receive notifications telling you how much time you have left to submit your work. The notifications will depend on how much time your instructor assigned for the assessment:

10 minutes up to 1 hour: You’ll receive a single reminder when 10% of the time remains. For example, for an assessment with a ten-minute time limit, the notification will appear when there’s one minute left.
1 hour or longer: You’ll receive a notification when 50% of the time remains and a second notification when 10% of the time remains. For example, for an assessment with a one-hour time limit, notifications will appear when 30 minutes remain and when there are 6 minutes left.

You won’t see any time remaining notifications if:

Your assessment has a time limit below 10 minutes .
You are a student with an unlimited time accommodation.

Respondus LockDown Browser

Student - secure assessment.

Your instructor can deliver assignments and tests securely. Secure assessments help promote academic integrity and honesty in student submissions. Your institution may use Respondus tools to administer secure assessments.

About Respondus

Respondus LockDown Browser prevents your access to any other materials, including internet browsers or other software, while you have an assessment open. You can’t refer to external information or copy material from these sources while you take the assessment. Within the LockDown Browser window, the assessment appears like any other Ultra assessment.

Respondus Monitor uses your webcam to prevent your access to physical materials during the assessment. Your instructor may also require you to enable your webcam or show your ID to verify that you're who you say you are.

Visit the Respondus Knowledgebase for help

What can't I do during a secure assessment?

If your instructor set up assessment security, you can't perform these actions:

Open the assessment in a standard browser window
Open other programs or browser windows
Visit other websites
Copy and paste
Add files, links, or videos to your submission content
Use certain keyboard shortcuts

Your instructor may allow you to use the Respondus iPad app. Otherwise, you need to submit a secure assessment with the desktop software.

Download the tools

You need to have Respondus LockDown Browser downloaded on your computer to open a secure assessment in Blackboard Learn. If you haven’t downloaded the tools and try to open the assessment, a message appears with links where to download. Select the link to get started.

Respondus Monitor is included in the LockDown Browser software. Your institution uses a unique LockDown Browser download link and application. Your instructor or your institution's help desk can provide you with the download URL.

Open a secure assessment

On the Course Content page, you can see the tools you need to open secure assessments and submit attempts. When you open a secure assessment, the Details & Information panel appears to provide more information about the grade, number of attempts, and other settings. You see which tools you need to continue.

Before you begin an attempt, be sure to download the required software . Reminder : If you haven’t downloaded the tools and try to open the assessment, a message appears with links where to download.

Select View assessment . LockDown Browser launches in a new window. If your instructor required Respondus Monitor, the startup sequence begins.

Add text and answer questions in the assessment just as you do in a standard browser. You can save drafts of your work and return at later points to continue work or submit. Reminder : You can't add files, links, or videos to the editor when you submit a secure assessment.

View an attempt

You'll also need Respondus LockDown Browser to view submitted attempts for secure assessments. After your instructor posts your grade, you can find it in multiple places without additional software.

To view the correct answers for your submission, you need Respondus LockDown Browser. Open your attempt and select Review results in Respondus LockDown Browser to launch the tool.

Offline Submissions (Student)

Offline submissions.

Your instructor can add assessments that don't require you to upload a submission.

Examples of offline work :

Oral presentations
Science fair projects
Acting performances
Artwork delivered in person
Face-to-face team building exercises, panel discussions, and debates

You can view the assessment alongside other content on the Course Content page and on your global and course grades pages. When you access the assessment from these course areas, you're informed you can't submit work online. Your instructor can add instructions, files, a rubric, and goals to help you prepare for the offline work. You can also participate in the assessment's conversations if enabled.

The Course content panel from the Student's view is open with 1) an example assignment selected and 2) the "Grading rubric" and "Goals standards" options highlighted.

For offline submissions, you can't submit multiple attempts and your instructor can't add a time limit.

When your instructor assigns a grade, you're notified in your activity stream.

On your Course Grades page, your grade appears with Submitted offline . If your instructor used a rubric to grade, the grade pill displays a rubric icon.
