Marking student submissions has become much easier for academic staff, allowing them to easily find and access submissions. BlackBoard has made the marking process more efficient and effective.<\/p>

Academic staff can now access submission links through the Gradebook and through the submission link on the content page.\u00a0<\/p>

Access through Gradebook<\/strong><\/p>

Accessing student’s submissions from the Gradebook is easy and intuitive. To access the Gradebook, select the Gradebook tab on the top row of the module site. By default, you will be in the “Overview” view. This is an easy way for academic staff to view outstanding submissions which need to be marked and to also view marked submission which needs to be posted to students.\u00a0<\/p>

\"Marking<\/p>

You can also view the submission link through the “Markable Items” view on the Gradebook. This will give you an overview of Gradebook content, such as Integrated Columns, Grade Columns, LTI Submissions, Assignment submission links, test submission links and journals.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

    BlackBoard has simplified the process of marking group assignments, making it more straightforward and intuitive. Academic staff can easily provide marks and feedback to both the group and individual students. It is also easy to navigate between each group.<\/p>

    You can also view the students in each group and provide them different marks or as an overall group.\u00a0<\/p>

    \"Marking<\/p>

    Marks and feedback can be provided to groups that have made submissions. Groups that have not submitted can be given marks but not feedback.\u00a0<\/p>

    When opening a submission, you can view the submitted file, on the left side and the marks and feedback on the right side giving a clear and easy view to assess the submission and provide feedback.\u00a0<\/p>

    \"Marking<\/p>

    1. On the submission page, you can annotate the student’s submission.\u00a0<\/li>
    2. You can provide students with group feedback and individual feedback, which will only be visible to each student. Marks can be provided manually or by using Rubrics. This would give the entire group the same mark.<\/li>
    3. You can navigate between multiple groups, making it easy to view group submissions without needing to leave the submission page.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>

      \"Marking<\/p>

      You can also provide students with feedback from the dropdown menu on the submission page.<\/p>

      You can also provide students with individual marks to ensure fair assessment by overriding marks on the submission link. This will highlight the group mark as ‘Multiple’. Each student will only see their own individual mark.<\/p>
