Blackboard December 2022 Updates
These are the new Blackboard Updates which will go live on our system on the 1st of December 2022.
Question Banks Descriptions & Search
With this new feature, instructors are now able to search for specific question banks using the search bar. You can also add a description to the question bank, making things clearer for the user.
Needs grading for first and last attempts
When more than one attempt is allowed, the marking has been updated.
The “mark attempts” selection is honoured for the following:
- last attempt with a mark- when the instructor grades the last attempt, previous attempts do not increase the “needs marking” count
- last attempt with a mark- if the student makes a new attempt after the instructor grades, that attempt does increase the “needs marking” count
- The first attempts with a mark- when the instructor grades the first attempt, attempts that follow do not increase the “needs marking” count.
Drag-and-drop improvements
This feature has been improved by slowing down the drag-and-drop option.
Instructors can also use keyboard commands to reorder the content.
Simpler Exit Actions for Student Preview
The display for the exiting student preview has been updated.
Improvements for copying content
The copy content page is now larger, breadcrumb links have been added, course and organisation lists are displayed in alphabetical order.
