Blackboard September 2022 Updates
The following updates will be live from the 1st September.
Rubric Copy between Courses
Instructors can now copy Rubrics.
Question Bank Sorting Controls
Instructors can now easily sort question banks based on the name, the number of questions in a bank, or the last edited date.
Discussion replies are available on the individual discussion grading page
Now an instructor can reply to posts from the individual student grading page.
Summary list of annotations for inline grading
File submissions can be annotated inline when grading. Now a side panel will summarise all comments in a list. Selecting a comment will navigate the instructor or student to the location of that comment in the document.
Test Timer Notifications
When taking timed assessments (longer than 10 minutes) students will be alerted when 10% of the time remains. For assessments longer than or equal to an hour, there will be an added notification when 50% of the time remains.
Microsoft Immersive Reader for Anthology Ally for LMS
Anthology Ally for LMS now includes a new alternative format: Microsoft Immersive Reader. Microsoft Immersive Reader helps students improve their reading, comprehension, and grammar skills.
From the Ally Alternative Format menu, users may select the Immersive Reader option and select download.
